Rachel Hauck

I've seen books by Rachel Hauck over the years and mostly ignored them. I'm sure they are fine books but the chick-lit light romance type don't really entice me. Not long ago one of hers caught my eye....The Wedding Dress. Since I'm a sucker for anything wedding-related, I picked it up. Here is the blurb on the back cover:


Four brides. One Dress.

A tale of faith, redemption, and timeless love.

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 discovers 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? Who welded the lock shut and tucked the dog tags in that little sachet? Who left it in the basement for a ten-year-old girl? And what about the mysterious man in the purple vest who insists the dress had been “redeemed.”

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 her own story of promise, pain, and destiny. And 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 timeless beauty of finding true love.

“The story of four loveable women, miraculously bound by one gown, whose lives span a century . . . will take your breath away.” —Beth Webb Hart, bestselling author of Love, Charleston


Needless to say I bought the novel and read it. I found the plot very intriguing and I really enjoyed every page. 

Just about a month ago I was browsing in the bookstore and say another of hers called Once Upon a Prince (Royal Wedding Series). I picked it up and while it was much more predictable and less mysterious I still enjoyed it. I plan to continue reading the series.
