About The Fish Dress
A tourist town, a mystical dress, and a past life journey. Set in coastal Maine, The Fish Dress tells the story of Nora Jenkins, a mother desperate to heal a broken relationship with her 19-year-old daughter, Angelica, who is in prison. Angelica rejects her mother’s attempt to reconnect; Nora feels like a failure, blaming herself for her daughter’s troubles. Enter the fish dress, a secondhand garment Nora “borrows” after trying it on. Never has she felt so good about herself and so empowered! Made of black linen and imprinted with white fish skeletons and tribal symbols, this mysteriously enchanting dress might help Nora win her daughter back.
However, when the dress starts to show a shadow side, Nora fears where it will take her and turns to a psychic for help. Together, accompanied by the dress, they time-travel to Nora’s previous life to resolve an old vow that still influences and challenges Nora, causing great pain. Will Nora break the vow and heal with her daughter? Can Nora overcome a childhood trauma? What are the chances she will dare to love again? Weaving truth with illusion, The Fish Dress spins a tale of restoration, hope, and letting go.
Praise
“Loved, loved, loved this book! We have all had that piece of clothing that has made us feel special, but the fish dress brings that to a whole new level. I was often brought to tears especially when Nora realized what actually happened to her as child. The mystical powers that the dress possessed had me wondering if it was Nora’s imagination or reality. Wonderful Read!” – Sally
“The Fish Dress has characters that are memorable and real, a plot that moves along organically and, in the end, makes you feel good. Go Nora!” – Geoff
