Stabb, Jo Ann

For the story of how this book came to be written, Chapter 27 in Joan's memoir, It's an Ill Wind, Indeed...that blows no good, tells the whole story. It also tells of how she came to open first an art gallery/jewelry store, Centering, and then not just one, but two women's clothing boutiques. The memoir maps one woman's hard fought journey through grief after the tragic loss of both her husband and younger son through a fire in their home. This book is in some ways also a memoir - a memoir of her journey into color and fashion.
