Bestselling author Geralyn Dawson brings her signature wit and charm to a contemporary tale of three Southern women who meet at a charity wedding gown sale and forge a friendship that changes their lives forever.

Summary

Holly Weeks, whose boyfriend has lured her to the sale under false pretenses, wants to walk barefoot on a Tahitian beach, win Yard of the Month, and read a thousand books for pleasure. She has many other goals on her "Life List," but getting married isn't one of them. Never mind that she's in love. Now if she could only figure out what's holding her back. Maggie Prescott is lonely in her empty nest. When her husband forgets their twenty-fifth anniversary, she wonders whether she even wants to share a nest with him anymore. Donating her wedding gown seems like the right thing to do. Grace Hardeman, who's volunteering at the sale, wishes for health happiness, and a party with loved ones to mark fifty years of marriage. But soon she's facing the fight of her life.

Together, these three women at turning points in their lives learn there's nothing like friendship to strengthen a heart that's in danger of breaking.
