Charlotte Leyton is a talented and seasoned costume seamstress at Disney Studios. Ignoring the voices on all sides who fling insults at her, declaring her a "spinster" at twenty-nine, a feminist, an opportunist worker bee, and an ugly duckling, she continues to sprint toward her goal of joining the ranks of actual costume designer Alice Estes Davis, her supervisor and heroine. She's determined that nothing should stop her from reaching the upper echelons of Disney Studios, the place she's worked since her teen years.
But there's one thing she can't outrun. The devastating fate of Bobby Driscoll, Disney's child star, model and voice actor for Peter Pan, and the guilt she's carried since a chilly winter evening fifteen years earlier...
