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... Sabrina Flooks was lost as a little girl, then raised and trained by talented dressmaker Evelyn. The historic bridal shop on Bold Street is all Sabrina has ever known. Since the kind shop owner took her in, Sabrina has followed in Evelyn's footsteps, stitching and bejewelling gorgeous wedding dresses. She's buried herself in the rich fabrics, closing off her heart rather than face the pain of what happened all those years ago... Until the sparks that fly between her and handsome Adam Taylor take her completely by surprise. His quiet charm and kind smile encourage her to let her guard down. Just a little. As love truly begins to bloom, the only way she can overcome the fear of being abandoned again and learn to feel safe in Adam's warm embrace, is if she finally finds the truth about her identity and her past. And the way to unravelling it all may be closer than she ever thought possible... Because the rails full of petticoats, veils and skirts hide a secret. One that could have her walking a path through the past. Could the journey through history give her everything she ever dreamt of? And even if she uncovers the truth, will she make it back to Adam in the present day or will it take Sabrina away from everything she holds dear? 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. Previously published as The Autumn Posy.
