Dora has always taken the path of least resistance. She went
to the college that offered her a scholarship, is majoring in
"vagueness studies," and wears whatever shows the least dirt. She
falls into a job at the college coffee shop, and a crush on her
flirty boss, Gary.
Just when she's about to test Gary's feelings, Mimi, the
grandmother who raised her, suffers a stroke. Dora rushes back home
to Forsyth, NC, and finds herself running her grandmother's vintage
clothing store. The store has always been a fixture in Dora's life;
though she grew up more of a jeans-and-sweatshirt kind of girl,
before she even knew how to write, Mimi taught her that a vintage
1920s dress could lift a woman's spirit.
While working there, Dora befriends Mimi's adorable contractor,
Conrad. Is he after Dora, or is working from a different blueprint?
And why did Mimi start writing down--and giving away--stories of
the dresses in her shop?
When Mimi dies, Dora can't get out of town fast enough and cedes
control of the store to her money-hungry aunt who wants to turn it
into a t-shirt shop for tourists. But ultimately, she returns to
Forsyth, willing to battle whatever may stand in the way of her
staying there. Dora can trade her boring clothes for vintage
glamour, but can she trade her boring life for one she actually
wants?
