My Mrs. Brown

Emilia Brown has spent a frugal and restrained life in Ashville, Rhode Island. She is a genteel woman who has known her share of personal sorrows and quietly carried on, who makes a modest living cleaning and running errands, and who counts her blessings on a daily basis.While helping to inventory the estate of the late grande dame of Ashville, Mrs. Brown comes upon a dress that changes everything. A simple yet exquisitely tailored Oscar de la Renta sheath and jacket, the suit says everything she has ever wished to convey about herself. And so, like the heroine in one of her favorite books, Paul Gallico's 1958 classic Mrs. 'Arris Goes to Paris, Mrs. Brown embarks on an odyssey to purchase the dress in New York City and speak her truth at last.
