Harper Dupree has placed all of her hopes on a career in fashion design, but when everything falls apart, she returns to Fairhope, Alabama, and to Millie, the woman who first taught her how to sew. As Harper reevaluates her own future, long-buried secrets about Millie's past are revealed. In 1946, Millie Middleton, the daughter of an Italian man and a Black woman, boarded a train and left Charleston to conceal half of her heritage. 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 would forever change her life. . . . and lead her to a heartbreaking choice about which heritage would define her future. Now, Harper and Millie return to Charleston to find 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 everything seems lost that they see the unexpected ways to mend what frayed between the seams.
