FEATURING: The Dressmaker's Dowry by Meredith Jaeger

From San Francisco 1876 to present day, we learn of the plight of the poor, the privilege of the wealthy, and secrets of a family that connect both eras.

I would recommend this book to readers who enjoy historical fiction, switching back and forth in time, and finding items from from past to present turning up for a mystery that includes a bit of love. 5/5

Not my usual fare and I was more interested in the 1876 portion of the story. But it was a fast and compelling read!

Made to a 2nd bookstore, Books Inc. But didn't get a picture of the outside. We also rushed through because Denard Span (centerfielder for San Francisco Giants) was signing autographs down the street at a coffee shop. #honeymoon #sanfrancisco #bookhaul

"I think the lives of working-class women are often overlooked in history books. I'd like to shed a little light in them." ~ Sarah Havensworth, journalist
"Love, I don't know what you've been through, but I know it ain't pretty. You deserve some happiness..." ~ comment made to Hanna
Isn't it true, all of us have a story to tell? Would you feel cheated if it were never told, because of your upbringing, culture, or social standing, or lack thereof?

This book was an easy fast read & I liked it. The climax of the story kind of surprised me because I guess I just didn't see it coming. But I'm glad the book ended on a happy note.

There were a lot of things I liked about this book...but the ending felt super rushed and unsatisfying. The tension that had been building was all of a sudden gone, with no real resolution. I also can't figure out the significance of the title at all...I keep flipping through to see if I missed something. #firstreads #goodreads #giveaway

First thoughts: an aspiring author that has crippling panic attacks? It's so relatable it's scary, LOL.
