A poignant memoir of three generations of women and the white dresses that adorned themAs a successful journalist at Good Morning America, Mary Pflum Petersons persona is at odds with her complicated childhood, where she watched her brilliant yet emotionally vulnerable mother, Anne, unravel before her eyes. But their love of white dresses always united themfrom their baptism dresses to their wedding gowns, white dresses embodied hope and new beginnings.After her mothers sudden death, Mary dug deep to understand the events that led to Annes breakdown. At twenty-one, Anne entered a convent, but lengthy periods of enforced fasting, isolation, and constant humiliation drove her to flee almost a decade later. Hoping to find new purpose as a wife and mother, she married, and was devastated when Marys father revealed himself to be gay.Anne retreated into chaos. By the time Mary was ten, their house was cluttered with broken appliances, stacks of mail, and teetering piles of assorted treasures. But in spite of everything, their bond endured. Through the white dresses, pivotal events in their lives were celebrated, marking the journey through loss and redemption as Mary tried to save Anne from herself.
