Four brides. One dress.
Charlotte owns a chic Birmingham bridal
boutique. Dressing brides for their big day is her gift—and her
passion. But with her own wedding day approaching, why can't she find
the perfect dress—or feel certain she should marry Tim?
Then Charlotte purchases a vintage
dress in a battered trunk at an estate sale. It looks brand-new,
shimmering with pearls and satin, hand-stitched and timeless in its
design. But where did it come from? Who wore it? Who welded the lock
shut and tucked dog tags in that little sachet? Who left it in the
basement for a ten-year-old-girl? And what about the mysterious man
in the purple vest who insists the dress ad been "redeemed"?
Charlotte's search for the gown's
history—and its new bride—begins as a distraction from her
sputtering love life. But it takes on a life of its own as she comes
to know the women who have worn the dress. Emily from 1912. Mary
Grace from 1939. Hillary from 1968. Each with her own story of
promise, pain, and destiny. And each with something unique to share.
For woven within the threads of the beautiful hundred-year-old gown
is the truth about Charlotte's heritage, the power of courage and
faith, and the beauty of finding true love.
Review:
I love how Rachel Hauck weaves romance
into a story much larger than just
boy-meets-girl-then-loses-girl-then...well you get it. The Wedding
Dress is filled with compelling characters that will capture your
heart and hold it hostage until the end. This was one of those rare
books I couldn't put down. Novel Rocket and I give it a very high
recommendation. It's a "must read."
