Fiction Family Life
The New York Times bestselling journalist and
author of The Girls from Ames, Jeffrey Zaslow, takes
us to a multi- generational family owned small-town bridal
shop to explore the emotional lives of women in the 21st
century. You may not have heard of Fowler,
Michigan, much less Becker's Bridal. But for the thousands
of women who have stepped inside, Becker's is the site of
some of the most important moments of their lives-moments
that speak to us all. Housed in a former bank, the boutique
owners transformed the vault into a "magic room," with soft
church lighting, a circular pedestal, and mirrors that make
lifelong dreams come true. Illuminating the poignant
aspects of a woman's journey to the altar, The Magic
Room tells the stories of memorable women on the brink
of commitment. Run by the same family for years, Becker's
has witnessed transformations in how America views the
institution of marriage; some of the shop's clientele are
becoming stepmothers, or starting married life for a second
time. In The Girls from Ames, beloved author Jeffrey
Zaslow used friendships to explore the emotional lives of
women. In The Magic Room, he turns his perceptive eye
to weddings and weaves together secrets, memories and
family tales to explore the hopes and dreams we have for
our daughters.
