Publisher's Summary:
The chance discovery of an antique wedding dress weaves together the fascinating stories of three women from different eras: Sophie, in hiding from a troubled past; Belle, who must lose everything to learn what really matters; and Martha, forced to give up those she loves in order to avoid exposure.
It's 1931, and Belle Bartholomew has arrived in rural Sweet Wattle Creek to claim her inheritance - a run-down grand hotel formerly owned by Martha Ambrose. Determined to solve the mystery of her birth and the reason why she was bequeathed the hotel, Belle runs into difficulties with the townsfolk and their desire to keep their secrets safe.
Sixty years later Sophie Matheson is on a quest to find Belle and her family after discovering the wedding dress. The Sweet Wattle Creek centenary brings more challenges when her past catches up, and she must fight for all that matters to her. Who were Belle and Martha, and what links their lives together?
Members Reviews:
Best read in ages.
I adored reading Belle and Sophie's stories. Told in parallel timelines, I have to admit to being hooked very early on.
Ms Dobbie's writing is superb and held my attention for the entire book. I don't normally stay in bed on a Saturday morning but I had to finish the story before I could get on with my day. Being held captive between the pages of a book is the best excuse to lock out the real world and even though I looked forward to the end, when I reached it I was left wishing there was more. And not because I thought the author could do better or more but because I was so engrossed in their lives I didn't want to say goodbye.
I now have this author on my watch list!
What a find.

A Light & Gentle Read that Will Appeal to Your Imagination While It Touches Both Your Heart and Your Sentimental Mind
When an old wedding dress mistakenly lands on the steps of the newspaper where she works as a journalist, Sophie Matheson is intrigued by both the beauty of it as well as the two names written on the inside of the box. With the Centenary celebrations of Sweet Wattle Creek imminent, she determines that if she can figure out its provenance and the tale held within its lace, velvet and pearls, this could prove to be a worthy story to accompany the dress at its display.
Approaching Ian, the historian and co-ordinator of the event, together they begin to delve into the past to uncover the secrets that the dress keeps within its folds. But Sophie has her own secret, one which is fed to the reader piecemeal, heightening the mystery surrounding her presence in the small town. Being thrust into the limelight however, is one thing she never bargained on and, as a consequence, her carefully held secret is soon uncovered, bringing danger to the door that she has tried to keep shut so that her and her son remain safe.
In our historical timeline, we are introduced to Belle whose story is set during the Great Depression. A somewhat wealthy and sheltered young woman, she soon finds out that things may not be as they seem when her father suddenly dies and she is left to fit together the pieces of the puzzle around her heritage. Itâs a journey of self-discovery and one that will take her from her gentrified upbringing to the dusty streets of Sweet Wattle Creek and the property she has mysteriously inherited.
