Dana’s Review of The Dress Shop on King StreetĪshley Clark has written a wonderful “Southern” dual-time book of great depth and feeling. But it's not until all appears lost that they see the unexpected ways to mend what frayed between the seams. and a chance at the dress shop they've both dreamed of. Now, together, Harper and Millie return to Charleston to find the man who may hold the answers they seek. and led her yet again to a heartbreaking choice about which heritage would define her future. She never expected to meet a charming train jumper who changed her life forever.

I like to include a little bit about the author when I can. According to Amazon this book is 367 pages and it’s published by Bethany House Publishers. As the blog owner I purchased the book for her and neither of us has had any contact with the author or publisher. She chose the book from a list I made of books I found in Christian categories on Amazon. (Likewise, as an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.) Thanks.
