Synopsis

A heartwarming story about the power of the perfect dress—and the perfect love—to change your life.

Francesca Delaney has a knack for matching a bride-to-be with the wedding dress of her dreams. Her shop, The Whispering Dress, is no ordinary bridal boutique. Every gown is vintage, and the wedding dresses seem to share their stories with Francesca, pointing to which woman needs them next.

Fran credits her success to two rules: never covet a dress and never sell a dress that led to a doomed marriage. But then she finds a beautiful 1950s couture floor-length gown, and her obsession threatens to win out. The owner, however, would quite like the dark past of the dress to remain hidden forever . . .

When she isn't busy writing or rearing three lively children, she paints portraits, goes running, and spends far too long browsing in vintage clothing shops.
