Its near destruction exposes reality: the authors failed relationship with her mother, and her parents failed relationship with one another. Weaving these narrative threads together is the Wild West notion that anything is possible, especially do-overs.</p><p><em>The Pink Dress</em> awakens nostalgia for the 1960s and 1970s, the eras conflicts and growth pains. A common expectation that women went to college to get "MRS" degreesto find a husband and become a stay-at-home wife and motheroften prevailed.
