The Dressmaker's Secret: Brides of Bold Street, Book 1

1962. Even as she gazes at the silk bridal dresses in the window, the little girl's eyes fill with tears. She has dreamed about gowns just like that. But now, lost and alone, she only wants to be held. Just a moment ago, she was in the arms of her mother. Now her only hope lies in Brides of Bold Street, where past and present blur… Brides of Bold Street—a beautiful, historic bridal shop – is all Sabrina Flooks has ever known after being separated from her mother as a little girl. But since meeting handsome Adam Taylor, the magic of the shop has changed—calling to Sabrina with the promise of answers about what really happened to her mother. And when she starts investigating, she is swept away to 1928… A much younger Evelyn, the talented dressmaker who found and raised Sabrina, doesn't even recognise her. And she can't help wondering if this has happened before. Could the reason her mother never came looking be because they were parted across time? With the help of a kind stranger, Sabrina tries to navigate an era of corsets and more horse-drawn carriages than cars as she searches for some hint to her own history. But if she can discover the truth, will she make it back to Adam in the present day, or will it take Sabrina away from everything she holds dear again? You will be totally swept away by Michelle Vernal's beautiful tale of love, loss, and family secrets spanning decades. This enchanting read is perfect for fans of Sandy Taylor, Barbara Davis, and Jean Grainger.
