Resumen del Editor

Four brides throughout time. One dress that ties them all together. The New York Times best seller from award-winning author Rachel Hauck!

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 listener away in this New York Times best-selling tale of faith, redemption, and timeless love.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Hauck weaves an intricately beautiful story centering around a wedding dress passed down through the years. Taken at face value, the tale is superlative, but 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! for The Wedding Dress)

"Hauck seamlessly switches back and forth in this redeeming tale of a shop with healing powers for the soul. As Cora and Haley search for solace and love, they find peace in the community of the charming shop. Hauck succeeds at blending similar themes across the time periods, grounding the plot twists in the main characters’ search for redemption and a reinvigoration of their wavering faith. In the third of her winsome wedding-themed standalone novels, Hauck focuses on the power of community to heal a broken heart." (Publishers Weekly)

“Rachel Hauck enchants us again! Tenley and Birdie are bound together by the understanding that creativity is a guiding force and that their stories must be told. A tale both bittersweet and redemptive, The Writing Desk is your must-read.” (Patti Callahan Henry, New York Times best-selling author)

Beautiful story

Beautiful story, beautiful dress and beautiful narration! I loved every last second of this story!

Life of faith love & a magic dress

It's a christian book for the young. Also about faith in God to carry you through difficult situations. Then the magic of a wedding dress very much like the sisterhood of the travelling pants.

The Dress

I chose this book because my own wedding dress has been worn 4 times. The book spoke to me. Granted I knew all the people who worn my dress and they loved it as much as I did!
Reading all the reviews people were so upset with the religious aspect, I’m not offended in the least. Religion was big part of the character’s life! I loved the story. It was nice genuine story without hate only love and respect. Maybe this is such a foreign concept for people, there are WHOLESOME PEOPLE OUT THERE!

redeemed

another great story of love that surpasses difficulties and redemption. I enjoy the writing and the narration

A love story in any era!

What a sweet story that stretches across generations. I loved how each time period historical events stayed true to the era and how love is worth fighting for. I didn't mind the religious aspect woven into the story, especially since marriage is a union of 3 - between husband and wife and Christ. I didn't care for the narrator. It was hard to tell when the character was speaking or just thinking.

Sweet

A very sweet story. Love how so many brides are connected. Love a happy ending.

Excellent

Wonderful - Rachel Hauck can really write a great story. Loved the southern accents; hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Love this book!

I love this story. I have listened to it numerous times. Windy Lanzl does a wonderful narration of Rachel Hauck's
book.

Wonderful Story

A very interesting and wonderful captivating story. Full of history on the time period .
I certainly would like to read other works by the same author.

Loved it!

Would you consider the audio edition of The Wedding Dress to be better than the print version?
Yes! I so enjoyed listening to the book. Of course, I prefer listening to reading because I can listen while I do other things like household chores or driving.

What about Windy Lanzl’s performance did you like?
I really enjoyed her performance. She did a great job with the characters. I was able to "forget" she was there and feel the different characters in the story come alive.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
No, nothing extreme. There were humorous moments, sad moments, and moments that made me cringe, but nothing that shocked me. It was an enjoyable ride.

Any additional comments?
This is one of my favorites of Rachel Hauk. It was well written and kept me interested throughout the 10 hours of listening!
