Julia and Victoria Atwater were barely brides before their husbands marched off to fight in the Civil War. Now alone, with scarcely enough money to see them through until spring, they embark on an impetuous mission to bring joy back into their youngest sister's life. 17 year old Claire has always wanted to be married. And though she has no intended groom, her sisters decide to sew her a wedding gown. A hauntingly beautiful story with a powerful message teaching us how to leave the past and look to the future. - Back Cover
