Charlotte Malone loves matching brides to their dream
wedding gown. When it comes to her own, she runs into trouble. Could it be the
doubts plaguing her about her whirlwind courtship are the cause?
At 32, Tim Rose wants to settle down - in theory. Is his
reluctance a sign that Charlotte
isn't the one for him or just wedding jitters.
A mysterious trunk and a wedding gown from 1912 may provide
the answers to their questions.
I'd read Rachel Hauck's book, "The Writing Desk,"
not long again and picked this one up on Amazon. It didn't take long before her
tale of a wedding dress and four brides over a century grabbed my imagination.
The strong spiritual theme throughout the book added great
subtext about our relationship with the Lord. I've seen miracles and unusual
experiences belittled and mocked in some Christian fiction, but Rachel handled
them with great respect. It set her apart, and I'll be reading more of her
novels.
Rating: 5 Stars on both content and craft.

I read this book a while back and really liked it Susan! I've read a few of Rachel Hauck's and think it's time for another. They are uplifting, inspiring, and bring out God's message. Thanks for your review here.
