The Secret Lives of Dresses by Erin McKean

If you're looking for a great story to get involved in, this is the book for you. It was so good that I read it all in one sitting, late into the night.

Dora, a college junior, finds herself rushing home to Forsyth, NC, when Mimi, the grandmother who raised her suffers a stroke. Dora was orphaned at age 3 and Mimi is the closest thing to a mother that she has ever had.

Dora was lucky to have Mimi to raise her. Mimi raises Dora to think for herself even if she makes mistakes. When Dora gets old enough she helps out Mimi in her vintage clothing shop that sounds so wonderful that it's a shame it's not real! I would shop there if it were real!

Mimi is gravely ill and Dora takes on the managing of the shop while hoping that Mimi will recover. To say much more about the story would spoil it! But if you enjoy warm hearted stories about love, friendship and a great wardrobe then "The Secret Lives of Dresses" will be a "perfect fit" for you!
