The Wedding Dress by Rachel Hauck

One dress, four women. The Wedding Dress by Rachel Hauck is the story of how one wedding dress touched four different women's lives. It gave them the courage to do what was right, it was uplifting in a time of need, it was comforting in a time of grief, and it gave a future. The book follows the lives of two women very closely. Charlotte, a young engaged woman who owns her own wedding dress shop where she prides herself with finding the perfect unique dress for each bride.  She bought a trunk at an auction and when she opened it she found a pristine wedding dress inside that was around 100 years old. Emily, the bride who the dress was originally designed and made for. She lived in 1912 where she was expected to marry the man her father picked for her because his family had the best social standing in town. 


I really enjoyed this book. I wasn't sure at first that I would like it since I normally don't like modern day romances, but since half the book took place in 1912, it was a good mix of modern and old-fashioned. I thought the story was very well-written. Rachel Hauck did a great job of switching back and forth between the two main stories with the other two stories intertwined. I thought that the concept of the story was great. The fact that one dress could touch and change four different women through time was a great idea.  The characters were very real. They weren't perfect. They had moments of weakness and strength that we could all relate to. 
I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who wants a heart warming story to brighten up their day.
