To protect herself, she wears gloves to keep from grazing the skin of her clients as she pins them into their gowns.Brides have whispered that Bailey can see if their true love is faithful, or if their marriage will be a success. Her aunt Charlene has always warned her, Its safer to stay out of White folks business. But Bailey will reluctantly provide a reading during a fitting, as long as the bride promises to be discreet.Now Elsa Grimes, daughter of one of the richest oil men in Oklahoma, has come to the Regal Gown as the least joyful bride Bailey has ever seen. Elsas big society wedding is imminent and her gown is gorgeous, but what Baileys intuition uncovers when she touches Elsas hand horrifies her. Against her better judgment, shes determined to help Elsa in whatever way she can. But when the son of a prominent family turns up dead on the eve of Elsas wedding, and the bride-to-be is arrested for his murder, Bailey is suddenly at the center of a firestorm that threatens to overtake her and everyone she loves. "From acclaimed African-American novelist Trisha Thomas comes the story of Bailey Dowery, a Black dressmaker in 1950s Oklahoma whose gift of "second sight" pulls her into a dangerous small-town scandal involving a society wedding, a murder, and shocking family secrets"-- Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
