About the author

Amy Holman Edelman moved to New York after college to become a clothing designer. After failing miserably, she fell into a career as a publicist and started her own company six months before her first child was born. She is the author of The Little Black Dress, which explores how the little black dress influenced contemporary fashion, art, literature, and film. In 2001 her husband of 12 years died unexpectedly. The following holiday, her youngest daughter asked for a daddy. The following year she began looking for another man and discovered dating in the 21st century as a 43-year-old widow with two kids. Her happy ending was reported in the New York Times “Vows” section on October 7, 2007.
