Rachel Hauck

Dear Readers,

There was something about The Wedding Dress by Rachel Hauck that drew my attention right away.  I don’t know if it was just a great cover or if it was the plotline that was talked about on the back cover.   I have read several different books by Rachel and have liked the ones I have read, but it has been a while and I thought it is about time to read another one. 

Charlotte has the gift of finding the perfect dress for every bride that comes into her shop.   She has a thriving business thanks to an anonymous gift that helped her get her feet on the ground and get rolling.  Of course it didn’t hurt that a former Miss Alabama asked her to do her dress. The rest, they say, is history.  Her little wedding dress shop started doing well and Charlotte thought she was all set for the rest of her life.

That is until she meet Tim and in a whirlwind started dating him and then became engaged to him.  Excited to join a big family that had siblings, nephews and nieces, parents etc… Charlotte said yes.  Now with only 2 months to her own wedding she still hasn’t picked a dress for herself. To be honest she hasn’t even really looked.  She hasn’t addressed the invites, which of course means she hasn’t sent them either.  Why is that? 

This story is so much more than just a love story between Tim and Rachel.  It is the story of God’s love for each of us as his child and how he wants the best for us.  That includes who we marry.  He is involved in every part of our lives.   I think there are times that we think our everyday lives are just our own and God doesn’t really bother himself with the little details, but he does.  He really does want to know everything about us.

I really enjoyed this gentle little tale.  It kept my interest the whole book.  It was just a plain and simple delight to read and now recommend to others.

Happy Reading
