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.
