Fledgling dress designer Cindy Reilly hoped to design dresses that would be in major stores someday. She hoped to have a happy ending like Cinderella. Cindy already had her prince, or so she thought. Heir to Strawbridge & Fitz department stores, Franklin Cameron Fitz III, saw Cindy and knew she was the one he wanted. But what about the boyfriend? On the night of Cindy's greatest triumph to date, a sale to Fitz's store, she catches her fiance with another woman, a sophisticated city woman. Cindy asks Franklin to help her make herself over, giving him time to be with Cindy.

A gentle tale of learning to separate fact from fiction, seeing what's real and not what you want to be real.

I love the Jan Karon-esque qualities of Barbara's books. I had already visited Pilchick and been introduced to Cindy in Barb's other hometown adventures and now we have become better aquainted. The love, caring, pettiness, quirks, foibles, heroes and crackpots of Smalltown, America are true to life and full of giggles. I plan to visit again and again. More, please!

This book is perfect for when you want to escape from the cares of the world. It makes you laugh and warms your heart. I also like how Ms. Hicks brings out important issues, like excepting yourself for who you are and how important it is to follow your dreams.

It looks like another winner. these books are all so funny and at the same time touching. Truly wonderful.

I read the frist one in the series then this one I love it too and it checks up on the characters in the previous book! I hope Barbara writes a few more!
