A Paris bridal salon, a box of letters, and two lives linked across decades

The story connects Soline Roussel’s family-run bridal salon in wartime Paris with Rory Grant’s life decades later, when a box of letters and an unworn wedding dress brings the women together. Soline’s losses during World War II have unsettled her belief in love; Rory is also coping with grief. Their emerging friendship and the parallels between their lives frame a mystery involving a forty-year-old wrong. The novel brings historical fiction, family history, romantic hopes, and a touch of magic into the same narrative, with its central questions turning on what can be recovered from the past and whether a damaged faith in happiness can be renewed.

Book overview

An enchanting novel about fate, second chances, and hope, lost and found, by the Amazon Charts bestselling author of The Last of the Moon Girls.

Soline Roussel is well schooled in the business of happy endings. For generations her family has kept an exclusive bridal salon in Paris, where magic is worked with needle and thread. It's said that the bride who wears a Roussel gown is guaranteed a lifetime of joy. But devastating losses during World War II leave Soline's world and heart in ruins and her faith in love shaken. She boxes up her memories, stowing them away, along with her broken dreams, determined to forget.

Decades later, while coping with her own tragic loss, aspiring gallery owner Rory Grant leases Soline's old property and discovers a box containing letters and a vintage wedding dress, never worn. When Rory returns the mementos, an unlikely friendship develops, and eerie parallels in Rory's and Soline's lives begin to surface. It's clear that they were destined to meet--and that Rory may hold the key to righting a forty-year wrong and opening the door to shared healing and, perhaps, a little magic.
