Leslie has just gotten out of the shower and with only a towel over her wet hair stares in horror as she takes in the morning news. Her Aunt Trudel is being interviewed by the local news channel about her charity auction this weekend - The 1st Annual Silver Linings Wedding Dress Auction.
Her aunt owns the premiere Trudel's Wedding Boutique in Portland. If you live in the Pacific Northwest her boutique is THE PLACE to buy your dress and this auction will be auctioning 50 wedding dresses from previous brides or those who never made it down the aisle and will benefit Rachel's House.
Leslie is feeling shock, anger and humiliation as her aunt tells everyone in viewing area that her niece is donating close to half a dozen dresses. No, not her niece, her niece Leslie Westcott. Not only had she not decided if she would be letting go of any of said wedding dresses, but they were to be listed "anonymous donor".
Immediately her phone begins to ring from local news stations and other local media trying to get her story.
I loved this book! It is very well written and the storyline grabbed my attention immediately. The characters are fully developed, totally relatable whether you love them, hate them or want to flat out kill them.
This book reminds me of the movie 27 Dresses starring Katherine Heigl where she is always the bridesmaid, but never the bride. Leslie is one of the top realtors in the area and as she makes her way into the office and trys to get through closings, lunch and her other daily errands she can't escape the looks of pity or disgust.
As the day approaches the auction her aunt and cousin are putting pressure on her to get rid of what they call the bad karma surrounding her and she starts going through the painful and humiliating memories of her love life. Leslie's story will fill you will sadness, horror, anger and hope.
This book is action packed full of intrigue as this author takes you through the tragedy of Leslie's prior engagements. I laughed and cried throughout this book. Highly recommend! This is my first book by Mary Oldham, but she had a new fan.
Get it now on Amazon!
