A 'curl up with a coffee,' read, The Boutique is a collection of nine gritty, compelling, and poignant short stories. The nine personalities, eight women and one man connect through their appreciation of the fashion shop that is, The Boutique.
When the talk about fashion tapers, we're taken beyond the doors of The Boutique and deeper into their lives, leading to dramatic and unpredictable storylines, with unexpected plot twists.
The Boutique is a modern-day short story book. It reveals the power and resilience of the human spirit. And it shows that a troublesome or traumatic past does not have to define us or hold us back as we strive for happiness and purpose.
