"Jane L. Rosen has a forever fan in me."—Emily Henry

A young woman has one month and a closetful of shoes to discover the future she thought she'd lost in this captivating new novel from the author of Eliza Starts a Rumor and Nine Women, One Dress.
Esme Nash is eager to leave her small town and begin her carefully planned post-grad life: a move to New York City, an apartment with her loving college boyfriend, and a fancy job at an art gallery. But when tragedy strikes, instead of heading to Manhattan, she returns home to care for her ailing father, leaving every bit of her dream behind.
 
Seven trying years later, Esme is offered a dog-sitting job in Greenwich Village by a mysterious stranger, giving her access to all of her long-buried hopes and dreams—as well as to an epic collection of designer shoes. Esme jumps at a second chance to step into the future she's sure was meant to be hers.
 
As she retraces her steps, one pair of borrowed shoes at a time, making new friends and reconnecting with her old love, Esme tries on versions of herself she didn’t know existed. But the hazy August days and warm summer nights pass too quickly, and Esme must decide how much of the life she imagined still fits, and what—and who—is on the road ahead of her.

      A pair of shoes can take you where you need to go, but what if you don't know where that is anymore? In Rosen's latest, Esme Nash hopes she can figure it out, one gorgeous pair of shoes at a time. Esme is about to graduate from Dartmouth College and can't wait to wear the coveted Louboutins that she's been gifted across the graduation stage and into the life waiting for her in New York City. But a tragic accident keeps Esme at home, where her dreams--and the Louboutins--stay boxed up for the next seven years. When circumstances finally take her to New York, dog watching for a client with a stunning shoe closet, Esme finally has the chance to live the life of her dreams. But is it the life she still wants? Balancing complicated love interests all while finding herself proves to be difficult--but doesn't hurt too badly in the right pair of shoes. While predictable, A Shoe Story is about finding yourself after loss, which will resonate with readers.
