finally letting go.\u201d <\/em><\/p><p>Every single book has its own personality.\u00a0 For all of us serious readers out there, we know this already.\u00a0 It\u2019s a given.\u00a0 Indeed, it may be the very reason for our reading addiction.\u00a0 Some are sweet and easy to read, others can be a struggle and difficult to finish.\u00a0 This is the latter.\u00a0<\/p><p>In the beginning I thought I had this story pegged. \u00a0The family lingerie business is failing, and our matriarch, Regan O\u2019Rourke, aka Grandma, decides it is time everyone pulls together to save it.\u00a0 My theory was supported when she gathers her three granddaughters around her, telling them straight out that Lace, Satin, and Baubles was now their responsibility, and failure is not an option.\u00a0 Then I realized I was only partially right because everything changes from there.\u00a0 We are quickly introduced to the three sisters and understand immediately a clash of personalities is highly probable.\u00a0 Lacey, the oldest, already with three teenage children, is aghast after realizing she\u2019s pregnant with her fourth child.\u00a0 Tory, the middle sister, is as feisty as her grandmother, and as flamboyant as her underwear.\u00a0 And Meggie.\u00a0 The youngest of the three. \u00a0She is our narrator and our heroine. \u00a0Coming home after a years-long absence, she is broken and emotionally bleached from a devastating marriage.\u00a0 Haunted by nightmares and daymares, she spends every single day trying to maintain the fragile bubble disguising itself as sanity.\u00a0<\/p><p>Cathy Lamb has written a strong novel that revolves around these women and their own individual struggles as they come together to once again function as a family.\u00a0 Their love for each other is fierce, but heartbreakingly so.\u00a0 My most favorite part is a conversation Meggie has with her nephew Hayden.\u00a0 He has made a life changing decision, and he comes to her to explain before even going to his parents.\u00a0 Meggie\u2019s love for Hayden is so evident it reaches thru the pages.\u00a0 We can feel her fear for him, the \u201cugly level\u201d of disdain this may raise him to.\u00a0 And yet she understands he needs to be true to himself.\u00a0<\/p><p>There are other issues. \u00a0What looks to be in the beginning as PTSD from an abusive relationship soon turns to the truth of mental illness and the complete devastation it unleashes upon surrounding loved ones.\u00a0 Personalities clash.\u00a0 Trust is hard earned.\u00a0 And efforts to save the lingerie shop culminate in a Fashion Show, or Fashion Story, when Meggie picks up her camera to capture the lives in the factory around them.\u00a0 We realize this is not just a business.\u00a0 It\u2019s a lifeline; shelter for those escaping their most dire hour and how they found not just safety, but acceptance.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><p>Things to know.<\/p><p>This book is a hard lean toward feministic outlooks.\u00a0 Though not every male in the story is cast as an evil being, references to men as wife beating bastards, if not actually written, are very much implied.\u00a0 Purposeful conception via one-night stands is also evident.\u00a0 There is actual man bashing that makes you wince; but the author knows this and remedies it by having her characters wince right along with you.\u00a0\u00a0 There is outrageous sexual advice, and free conversations about undergarments from the whole lingerie staff.\u00a0 Regardless, this story DOES capture relevant and modern issues.\u00a0 Mental health, gender identity, suicide.\u00a0 It allows us the opportunity to see what other\u2019s see; the fragility behind another\u2019s eyes and the strength each must endure to move forward.<\/p><p>Last thoughts.\u00a0<\/p><p>I liked this book for many reasons.\u00a0 Grandma\u2019s insistence that \u201cno body promised you a bucket of pansies.\u00a0 So don\u2019t be one.\u201d And her belief that every woman is made beautiful just by being herself.\u00a0 I found myself laughing out loud in some parts, and shedding tears in others.\u00a0 This is not a predictable story.\u00a0 And the people we meet; the sisters, the staff, all come together to make their own family and are stronger because of the past lives they all endured somehow or another.\u00a0 The end can be a lesson of forgiveness; for others, and for ourselves.\u00a0<\/p><p>In the end\u2026.<\/p><p>Was this the very best book I\u2019ve ever read?\u00a0 No.\u00a0 Was this an uncomfortable read?\u00a0 Sometimes.\u00a0 \u00a0Would I still recommend it to others?\u00a0 Absolutely.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By
