Harper is finishing her design course and is hoping to open a dress shop. While in Charleston, she meets Peter, who owns an old building that would be perfect for a shop. Later she goes to visit an old mentor, Millie, who runs a boarding house in Alabama. Millie has secrets from her past, but she too had always wantd to run a dress shop. Together they go to Charleston and contact Peter. This story flips back and forth from the past to the present. Millie's ancestors are explored throughout as well as Millie's early life. It is a poignant picture of the old South from slave days to modern times.
There is a lot of historical detail here and a lot to absorb about the culture of the South. I would recommend this to anyone who likes a good historical story.
I have voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from NetGalley. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.
