Fiction Family Life
Amanda Rosenbloom, proprietor of Astor Place Vintage, thinks
she’son just another call to appraise and possibly purchase
clothing from a wealthy, elderly woman. But after
discovering a journal sewn into a fur muff, Amanda gets much
more than she anticipated. The pages of the journal reveal the life of Olive Westcott,
a young woman who had moved to Manhattan in 1907. Olive was
set on pursuing a career as a department store buyer in an
era when Victorian ideas, limiting a woman’s sphere to
marriage and motherhood, were only beginning to give way to
modern ways of thinking. As Amanda reads the journal, her life begins to unravel
until she can no longer ignore this voice from the past.
Despite being separated by one hundred years, Amanda finds
she’s connected to Olive in ways neither could ever have
imagined.
