Courtney Cole The Christmas Dress Book

A romantic story about the magic of Christmas. Megan Jullard works for a fashion magazine in New York and dreams of becoming a clothing designer. But everything changes in an instant when she is forced to return to Chicago, her hometown, and take over the management of an apartment building that her late father used to run. Maggie is very upset, feeling that her plans to build a career in the fashion industry are over. On top of that, she has to deal with a huge number of problems every day — something is always breaking in the building, dissatisfied tenants are complaining, sad memories from her childhood are resurfacing, and the presence of a handsome repairman is distracting her. Christmas is approaching, but the mood is anything but festive.
Ellie Wade has lived in this house for a long time and also feels no joy at the approach of the holiday. She is preparing to move to a retirement home and needs to choose which things to take with her and which to leave behind. Each item brings back memories, but there is one dress she does not want to take with her, one that symbolises the best and worst night of her life. Mrs Wade gives it to Maggie and tells her the story of her love. This inspires the girl to come up with incredible ideas. To get what she wants, she will have to go through trials, take bold steps and make discoveries, and learn about other life stories. In the end, it will be the best Christmas ever.
