Writing Question

Need help with a Prologue.

I'm writing a book about a young girl who grows up in a family who doesn't want her. They bash her and treat her like scum. Her names Grace by the way. Madessale is the town they live in. As a toddler Grace began to gain the power of the masters, an immortal who is feared deeply throughout the world because of the magical powers they possess, she didn't have any idea that she was magical since her life was enclosed in the darkness of the attic. Anyway, it's a fantasy novel with different types of magic and spirits. I'm currently a few chapters in and have the feeling I need a prologue to give a further understanding, but I'm not to sure what a prologue should include. If anyone can give me some help it would be highly appreciated.
Thank you

Well in the prologue you could say about how that world was before she was born or before she started gaining power. Maybe something changed or something really important happened. I think that you'll have plenty of time to explain what is going on with the girl during the story, but in the prologue you should really show if not the "purpose" of the story, something that could explain the things that will follow afterwards. Did I confuse you? Good luck with the story!
