A holiday look inspired by Josephine Reynolds or her great-grandmother Alma from The Vanishing of Josephine Reynolds by Jennifer Moorman might be just the ticket to feel like the main character in your own life. Channel Josephine's quiet resilience and newfound sense of purpose with a look that’s both elegant and timeless, perhaps a vintage-inspired dress in soft, wintry, green tones paired with modern accessories for a nod to both the past and present. Alternatively, embrace the bold, Jazz Age glamour of Alma with a daring flapper-style dress, adorned with fringe, paired with a faux fur stole or sparkling accessories like these art deco-esque green and gold earrings.

About the book:
Can one thoughtless wish erase a life?
Widowed at thirty-five, Josephine Reynolds wishes she could disappear, but her concerned sister convinces her to buy their ancestral home, a Craftsman bungalow in disrepair and foreclosure. It's a welcome distraction, and Josephine can't believe her luck when she finds the home's original door in a salvage yard.
When she installs the door and steps through it, Josephine is transported into 1927, where she meets her great-grandmother Alma, a vivacious and daring woman running an illegal speakeasy in the bungalow's basement. Immersed in the vibrant Jazz Age, Josephine forms a profound bond with Alma, only to discover upon her return to the present that history has been altered. Alma's life was tragically cut short in a speakeasy raid just a week after their fateful meeting.
Josephine has a chilling revelation--her own existence is unraveling/vanishing--and she must race against time to rewrite history. Josephine is desperate to not only save Alma but save her own future in a time-bending journey where past and present intertwine in a desperate battle for survival.
