Bookroo's summary

Felicity's dream of attending a dance at the Governor's Palace is dashed when her mother falls ill, leaving no time for a new gown. As she cares for her mother, Felicity resigns herself to missing the event. But as Christmastide approaches, an unexpected surprise offers hope that dreams can still come true. Will Felicity find a way to the Palace after all?

From the publisher

Felicity is invited to a dancing lesson at the Governor’s Palace, the most wonderful honor she can imagine. Mother promises to make a beautiful new gown for her. As the splendid event draws near, Mother becomes dreadfully ill. Felicity spends all her days caring for her, sadly accepting that there will be no new gown and no chance to go to the Palace. No chance, that is, until a glorious surprise reminds her that Christmastide is a time when hopes and dreams do come true.
