About the show: Diana Elizabeth Jordan loved to read fairy tales when she was a little girl and grew up believing she too would grow up meet her prince charming and live happily ever after, just like the princesses she used to read about. Her journey to meet her prince charming proved much more challenging after all she didn’t have a talking magic mirror and fairy god mother to give her advice. She sometimes wondered if her disability (cerebral palsy which mildly affects her speech and gait) made her less lovable till the day she discovered a true love was closer to her than she ever imagined.
