Description

New York Times and USA TODAY bestseller!

Bestselling and award-winning author Rachel Hauck delivers a tale of faith, redemption, and timeless love involving four brides and the wedding dress that ties them all together. Perfect for fans of The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake and Like Water for Chocolate.

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 reader away in this New York Times bestselling tale that combines a wedding dress with a mysterious history, closed-door love stories spanning different time periods, redemption and faith, strong female characters, and interwoven stories.

"Hauck weaves an intricately beautiful story centering around a wedding dress passed down through the years . . . considering the spiritual message both on the surface and between the lines, this novel is incredible. Readers will laugh, cry and treasure this book." --RT Book Reviews, TOP PICK!

    I loved how the 100 years were woven in and out of the present/ the past. Excellent story and I lived the ending.... the symbol of Jesus and love.

    THE WEDDING DRESS by Rachel Hauck. She has done a beautiful job of an intriguing story of a dress and the four woman that were connected to it. How interesting to have Charlotte owning a boutique, but unable to find her special one. Going to an estate sale and bidding more, or even bidding and hope Tim, fiancé, would understand. Old battered trunk,a lock that wasn't easy to get opened. Showed the courage and faith these 4 woman had. Emly 1912, Mary 1939 Hilary 1968. Given ARC. by Thomas Nelson for my voluntary review and my honest opinion.

    Wedding dress fits every bride over 100 years and each bride's issues. Book very choppy going between different eras and doesn't get in dept to any one character. Also book is g rated, would have preferred more passion. Those looking for a christian romance will probably enjoy. Enjoyed reading but not an all time favorite.

  • Intriguing

    I gave this book 3 stars, although I enjoyed it. A little wordy and almost gave up on it because there were too many characters that I had to keep continually searching for right up to the very end, but for the most part, I enjoyed it.
