A rather sweet, calm story about three sisters in the aftermath of the Civil War. They decide they need to expect good things to happen and so work together to sew a wedding dress for the youngest sister. As soon as they begin, this action impacts the people around them as well as their own lives. The conclusion of the story is very satisfactory and even romantic.

I mention that this is a "calm" story because it isn't particularly a tear-jerker even though it has some sad moments and it is "sweet" because they are a nice family and think of others more than themselves. One thing that does stand out are the "ghostly soldiers" they see around their home on a consistent basis.
