For fans of Alice Hoffman, Sarah Addison Allen, and Adriana Trigiani, The Dress Shop of Dreams is a captivating novel of enduring hopes, second chances, and the life-changing magic of true love. Since her parentsโ mysterious deaths many years ago, scientist Cora Sparks has spent her days in the safety of her university lab or at her grandmother Ettaโs dress shop. Tucked away on a winding Cambridge street, Ettaโs charming tiny store appears quite ordinary to passersby, but the colorfully vibrant racks of beaded silks, delicate laces, and jewel-toned velvets hold bewitching secrets: With just a few stitches from Ettaโs needle, these gorgeous gowns have the power to free a womanโs deepest desires. Ettaโs dearest wish is to work her magic on her granddaughter. Coraโs studious, unromantic eye has overlooked Walt, the shy bookseller who has been in love with her forever. Determined not to allow Cora to miss her chance at happiness, Etta sews a tiny stitch into Waltโs collar, hoping to give him the courage to confess his feelings to Cora. But magic spellsโlike true loveโcan go awry. After Walt is spurred into action, Etta realizes sheโs set in motion a series of astonishing events that will transform Coraโs life in extraordinary and unexpected ways.
