One dress. Four women. An amazing destiny.
Charlotte Malone is getting married. Yet all is not settled in the heart of Birmingham’s chic bridal boutique owner. Charlotte can dress any bride to perfection-except herself. When she discovers a vintage mint-condition wedding gown in a battered old trunk, Charlotte embarks on a passionate journey to discover the women who wore the gown before her.
Emily in 1912. Mary in 1939. And Hillary in 1968. Each woman teaches Charlotte something about love in her own unique way. Woven within the threads of the beautiful hundred-year-old gown is the truth about Charlotte’s heritage, the power of faith, and the beauty of finding true love.
Rachel Hauck lives in sunny, though sometimes hurricane plagued, central Florida with her husband and their ornery pets. She is the bestselling author of Carol Award winner Sweet Caroline, and RITA Finalist Love Starts With Elle, and of the critically acclaimed fiction collaboration with multi-platinum country artist Sara Evans, The Songbird Novels.

MY REVIEW: I received this book in exchange for my participation in this blog tour. However, I’ve been excited about reading it since Rachel first told me about it. I’m a happily ever after girl who loves weddings, wedding dresses, and romance. And with this book–we have all three times four. Rachel Hauck’s imagery and wordsmithing captivates me. I loved the seamless way Rachel threaded the present with the past as Charlotte, the main character, searched the history of a wedding dress found in an old trunk. The Wedding Dress is a beautiful story of romance, courage and belief in the One who gives us an eternal happily ever after. Visit the other blogs on this blog tour.
