The Secret Lives of Dresses

"I don't know how long Ive been hanging here by myself; it's hard to tell the days when the closet isn't opened every morning. Hes opened the closet twice, but the room's been dark, both times, and he isn't dressed for work when he does open the closet. I mean, hes wearing street clothes, not pajamas, but they're all rumpled and not very clean, either."

I'm reading a new book I was given for my birthday called "The Secret Lives of Dresses" by Erin Mckean. It's such a nice and lovely book in many ways captivating and charming with a undercurent of some good values for life. You can walk away from this book with learning something new or changing your perspective. It is very well written that for a non native english speaker its so easy to follow. Not to say that it is dumbed down in any way, just that it flows as one long poem should.
Giving me a sense that I am floating on a sea of Words. Share this book with ohers and read i threw and threw, you will certainly find this enjoyable.
