The Dress Shop on King Street by Ashley ClarkMy rating: 💛💛💛💛
Oh wow, this was such a beautiful story and one at quite a high standard for the author's debut.
Millie's life was one of heartbreak, love and hope. Even through her struggles, she found a way to find joy in her day and make the best of her circumstances. There was a few times when she went through "the valley of darkness" and when she had all reason to be depressed and lost, she rose above her circumstances.
The modern day story was also sweet, but Millie's grabbed at my heartstrings.
Fans of dual time novels will find a new favourite author to follow. Looking forward to the author's second novel, which I'm afraid I have high expectations for.
I listened to the audiobook. The narrator did a great job with the Alabama accent. And I enjoyed the way she represented Millie.

About the book:
Harper Albright has pinned all her hopes on a future in fashion design. But when it comes crashing down around her, she returns home to Fairhope, Alabama, and to Millie, the woman who first taught her to sew. As she rethinks her own future, secrets long hidden about Millie's past are brought to light.
In 1946, Millie Middleton boarded a train and left Charleston to keep half of her heritage hidden. She carried with her two heirloom buttons and the dream of owning a dress store. She never expected to meet a charming train jumper who changed her life forever . . . and led her yet again to a heartbreaking choice about which heritage would define her future.
Now, together, Harper and Millie return to Charleston and the man who may hold the answers they seek . . . and a chance at the dress shop they've both dreamed of. But it's not until all appears lost that they see the unexpected ways to mend what frayed between the seams.
