  typical romance. It’s a rich, complex, and uplifting story of family lost and
  found that I won’t soon forget. If you loved Before We Were Yours, you will
  love The Dress Shop on King Street as much as I did. Highly recommended!”

  feel Millie’s and Harper’s stories deeply, and in the process, be reminded of
  how gentle God is as He guides us through dreams lost and found. You might
