For Nell Marchwold, bliss is
seeing the transformation when someone gets a glimpse in the mirror
while wearing one of her creations and feels beautiful. Nell has always
strived to create hats that bring out a woman's best qualities. She
knows she's fortunate to have landed a job as an apprentice designer at
the prominent Oscar Fields Millinery in New York City. Yet when Nell's
fresh designs begin to catch on, her boss holds her back from the
limelight, claiming the stammer she's had since childhood reflects
poorly on her and his salon.
But it seems Nell's gift
won't be hidden by Oscar's efforts. Soon an up-and-coming fashion
designer is seeking her out as a partner of his 1922 collection. The
publicity leads to an opportunity for Nell to make hats in London for a
royal wedding. There, she sees her childhood friend, Quentin, and an
unexpected spark kindles between them. But thanks to her success, Oscar
is determined to keep her. As her heart tugs in two directions, Nell
must decide what she is willing to sacrifice for her dream, and what her
dream truly is.

My Thoughts:
Carla writes a book that takes you right into the heart of the Jazz age. Nell has aspirations of being a hat maker, not only creating great hat's for ladies, but seeing her designs literally make the person come to life.
This book is an entertaining read, the characters come to life, and you feel like you are right in the middle of the Jazz age. I highly recommend it!
