Although she's no Cinderella, Jane Stuart's life changes
dramatically, all because of a dress. Jane inherited an
amazing vintage 1920s dress from her grandmother. During
college, Jane wrote a research paper on the history of her
grandmother's dress -- circa 1928 Paris, pearl blue, nearly
sheer, practically indecent -- a dangerous dress. Jane is
shocked that her small-town Indiana grandmother ever owned
such a dress.
Several years later, Jane is bored and working in her
uncle's bank when an eccentric film director contacts her.
He found her research paper on the Internet and he needs
her dress and her fashion expertise. On his movie set. In
Paris. Immediately. A few hours later, Jane and the
dangerous dress are whisked far from Indiana on an
adventure that will forever change her life.
Thanks to a supporting cast including an inspiring
grandmother and a sophisticated college roommate, this is
not your average small-town girl goes to the big city tale.
Enjoy witty first-person narration with blossoming romance
and life-changing adventure. A glimpse into the fickle
movie industry from the eyes of the bedraggled production
crew is one of the highlights of the novel. Julia
Holden is the pseudonym for a Hollywood-based executive
in the entertainment business. Her first novel is a
dangerous combination of gossip, entertainment, personal
insight and adventure.
If there's one dress that can make Jane Stuart think that
anything was possible, it's her late grandmother's vintage
1920s Parisian dress. And when the dress becomes her ticket
out of Kirland, Indiana, Jane takes her first tentative
steps on her own reckless, passionate, and oh-so-dangerous
adventure - to the fashion world of Paris, the celebrity
scene in Manhattan, and beyond. But, as the dress takes her
to dazzling new heights, one man will bring her back down
to earth.
