Publisher's Summary

Four brides throughout time. One dress that ties them all together. The New York Times best seller from award-winning author Rachel Hauck! 

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?

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 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.

Rachel Hauck sweeps the listener away in this New York Times best-selling tale of faith, redemption, and timeless love.

Loved the story!

I loved how the story went through the different generations. Four generations of strong women. I suspected the ending and was correct, but loved how it intertwined. FYI there is a lot of mentions of religious prayer and names. It was unexpected for me, but it was still a great story.

not bad

a little slow in places but the story was different and interesting. I didn't finish the last chapter as I seemed to know what was going to happen and I had a new book I was excited to start
