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. Devastating losses during World War II leave Soline’s world and heart in ruins, and she boxes up her memories and 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 their lives begin to surface, suggesting Rory may hold the key to righting a forty-year wrong and opening the door to shared healing and perhaps a little magic.
