(NAPSI)—A joyful and at times heartbreaking new book offers insights into marriage, family and the lessons that parents pass on to their daughters about love.

The story takes place in Becker’s Bridal in Fowler, Michigan, a place that 100,000 brides-to-be from across the Midwest have made pilgrimages to. A mirrored room in this bridal shop, once a bank vault, is now called the “Magic Room.”

In “The Magic Room: A Story About The Love We Wish For Our Daughters” (Gotham), Jeffrey Zaslow takes readers to this remarkable small-town bridal shop to explore the hopes and dreams that parents have for their daughters.

Zaslow came to Fowler not just to write about wedding gowns and what they represent. He came to understand the women wearing them, their fears and yearnings, and through them, he tells a larger story about the love between parents and daughters today.

In “The Magic Room,” Zaslow examines women on the brink of commitment, whose stories, secrets and memories will pull you in from the moment they first see their reflection in this iconic room.

“The Magic Room” is available wherever books are sold.
