The Roaring Days of Zora Lily

"Who doesn’t love a story about blinding ambition and female perseverance – plus fashion, fame and fortune-hunting? Noelle Salazar tells the story of Zora Hough, a poor seamstress in 1920s Seattle, following her dream to become a world-famous fashion designer. Then, the book jumps ahead 100 years to the present day, where a dress once worn by Greta Garbo is being archived at the Smithsonian – and a conservator finds Zora’s name under the designer label. This is a captivating story about friendship, love and family duty – and how success isn’t always linear."
