With its heartwarming narrative and enthralling details, this book showcases the inspiring journey of two women who defied the odds. A must-read for aspiring designers, crochet lovers, and anyone searching for an ‘against all odds’ success story! Authors Note: I have always felt so inspired by my mom and aunt's very entrepreneurial spirit at such a young age – how they dared to move to a foreign country and pursue their dreams without any prior connections to the fashion industry, or to the Hollywood celebrities that would become their clients and friends. To this day I am still amazed by their courage and the success they found. Having been able to document their story has been an honor, and this book journey has been the realization of my own long-time dream of becoming an author. I have self-published this book and have loved every minute of that learning experience, and I am so thankful that being able to do so is a possibility in today's day and age. If you enjoy the book please help spread the word to others who might like it, and I would also be most grateful if you might consider leaving a review! All the best, /Jenny
