A Shoe Story
Book Feature - A Shoe Story by Jane Rosen
HBL Note: You might already know this from my At Home with the Hastys series when I posted about custom closets, but we live in a tiny city condo with tiny city closets. But what I wouldn’t give for a grand, glorious, closet dedicated solely to shoes. Maybe someday… But in the meantime, I get to live vicariously through fun fictional characters like Esme Nash, who has a closet FULL of borrowed designer shoes. Scroll down to find out how Esme and the mysterious stranger who owns all those shoes met in A SHOE STORY by Jane Rosen.

From the publisher:
Esme Nash is eager to leave her small town and begin her carefully planned post-grad life: a move to New York City, an apartment with her loving college boyfriend, and a fancy job at an art gallery. But when tragedy strikes, instead of heading to Manhattan, she returns home to care for her ailing father, leaving every bit of her dream behind.
Seven trying years later, Esme is offered a dog-sitting job in Greenwich Village by a mysterious stranger, giving her access to all of her long-buried hopes and dreams—as well as to an epic collection of designer shoes. Esme jumps at a second chance to step into the future she's sure was meant to be hers.
As she retraces her steps, one pair of borrowed shoes at a time, making new friends and reconnecting with her old love, Esme tries on versions of herself she didn’t know existed. But the hazy August days and warm summer nights pass too quickly, and Esme must decide how much of the life she imagined still fits, and what—and who—is on the road ahead of her.
