THE DRESS IN THE WINDOW
Sofia Grant
Releasing July 25, 2017
William Morrow
A perfect debut novel is like a
perfect dress—it’s a “must have” and when you “try it on” it fits perfectly. In
this richly patterned story of sisterhood, ambition, and reinvention Sofia
Grant has created a story just right for fans of Vintage and The
Dress Shop of Dreams.
World War II has ended and American women are shedding their old clothes for the gorgeous new styles. Voluminous layers of taffeta and tulle, wasp waists, and beautiful color—all so welcome after years of sensible styles and strict rationing.

Jeanne
Brink and her sister Peggy both had to weather every tragedy the war had to
offer—Peggy now a widowed mother, Jeanne without the fiancé she’d counted on,
both living with Peggy’s mother-in-law in a grim mill town. But despite
their grey pasts they long for a bright future—Jeanne by creating stunning
dresses for her clients with the help of her sister Peggy’s brilliant sketches.
Together,
they combine forces to create amazing fashions and a more prosperous life than
they’d ever dreamed of before the war. But sisterly love can sometimes turn
into sibling jealousy. Always playing second fiddle to her sister, Peggy yearns
to make her own mark. But as they soon discover, the future is never without
its surprises, ones that have the potential to make—or break—their dreams.
Sofia
Grant has the heart of a homemaker, the curiosity of a
cat, and the keen eye of a scout. She works from an urban aerie in Oakland,
California.
