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 parents’ mysterious deaths many years ago,
scientist Cora Sparks has spent her days in the safety of
her university lab or at her grandmother Etta’s dress shop.
Tucked away on a winding Cambridge street, Etta’s 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 Etta’s needle, these gorgeous gowns have
the power to free a woman’s deepest desires. Etta’s dearest wish is to work her magic on her
granddaughter. Cora’s 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 Walt’s
collar, hoping to give him the courage to confess his
feelings to Cora. But magic spells—like true love—can go
awry. After Walt is spurred into action, Etta realizes she’s
set in motion a series of astonishing events that will
transform Cora’s life in extraordinary and unexpected ways.
