All women are invited to these discussions to share observations, enthusiasm, insights and the pure enjoyment of reading.

The incredible, true, untold story of Ann Lowe, Jackie Kennedy’s wedding dress designer, a Black woman who made some of the most famous dresses of all time, only to be forgotten by history.

Raised in Jim Crow Alabama, Ann learned the art of sewing from her mother and her grandmother, a former slave, who are the most talented seamstresses in the state. After Ann elopes, her dreams of becoming a celebrated designer seem to be put on hold. But then a wealthy Tampa socialite sees Ann’s talent and offers her an amazing opportunity — the chance to sew and design clothing for Florida’s society elite. Ann escapes her abusive husband and embarks on the adventure of a lifetime. — Goodreads
