About the Book

You may not have heard of Fowler, Michigan, much less Becker's Bridal. But for the thousands of women who have stepped inside, Becker's is the site of some of the most important moments of their lives ? moments that speak to us all. Housed in a former bank, the boutique owners transformed the vault into a ?magic room, ? with soft church lighting, a circular pedestal, and mirrors that make lifelong dreams come true.Illuminating the poignant aspects of a woman's journey to the altar, The Magic Room tells the stories of memorable women on the brink of commitment. Run by the same family for years, Becker's has witnessed transformations in how America views the institution of marriage; some of the shop's clientele are becoming stepmothers, or starting married life for a second time. In The Girls from Ames, beloved author Jeffrey Zaslow used friendships to explore the emotional lives of women. In The Magic Room, he turns his perceptive eye to weddings and uses the tradition to explore the hopes and dreams we have for our daughters. Weaving together secrets, memories, and family tales, The Magic Room explores the emotional lives of women in the twenty-first century.
