Vanessa is fifty-two, and she can feel the years showing.
Her husband, Kyle, still loves her—or at least the woman he remembers. After thirty years of marriage, Vanessa has begun to wonder if the younger woman he fell in love with is the woman he truly wants.
Then she finds Eternal Beauty, a strange little dress shop that seems to have appeared out of nowhere.
Inside, an old woman offers Vanessa a beautiful ivory dress unlike anything she has ever seen. It fits perfectly. There is only one problem.
Once Vanessa puts it on, she cannot take it off.
And the dress is changing her.
Her face grows younger. Her body returns to the way it was at twenty-one. But as the years disappear from her appearance, they begin disappearing from her mind as well. Friends, memories, choices, and an entire lifetime begin slipping away.
Kyle is thrilled.
The younger Vanessa is the woman he remembers. The woman he wanted back.
But Vanessa is beginning to realize that the dress isn’t simply making her young again.
It is erasing the woman she became.
And somewhere behind the locked door of Eternal Beauty, the old woman already knows what is happening.
Now Vanessa must decide what matters more: accepting the younger version of herself that Kyle wants—or doing whatever it takes to become the woman she used to be before the dress takes everything else away.
