    <![CDATA[Just as a familiar old song can bring into focus an event from the past, so for Gingy Beckerman, the clothes in her closet are like a magic key opening a door to the past. From her Brownie uniform to her Diane von Furstenburg wrap dress and her Rita Hayworth-style strapless from the Neiman Marcus outlet store, each outfit in LOVE, LOSS, AND WHAT I WORE tells its own story. All together, they tell the story of a life. &quot;A memoir every reader will wish to copy in her own size.&quot;--Glamour. Now in its 4th printing. Over 103,000 copies in print.]]>
