THE MAGIC ROOM A Story About the Love We Wish for Our Daughters

Sandra Burr is an outstanding interpreter of this thought-provoking look at how modern women begin the transition from daughter to wife, and how the colorful proprietors of a wedding-dress business cope with them. After the gravelly voiced author delivers the introduction, Sandra Burr performs his ultra-smooth writing with the touching authority of someone who understands family relationships. The texture and maturity she brings to this production enhance the book’s impact, especially the dialogue. The book, by a former personal advice columnist, tells the story of eight women and their families who patronized a landmark bridal boutique in a small Michigan town. He provides a sensitive look at how the culture of raising a daughter has changed and an insider’s view of how the owners and employees of a family business deal with their own issues. T.W.
