She gazes at her mother's face in the black and white photograph, her vision blurring as tears build. Could this wartime wedding portrait be the key to finding out why her mother went missing, all those years ago?

Brides of Bold Street is filled with beautiful, brand-new ivory gowns. But dressmaker Sabrina loves it when brides-to-be wear vintage, family heirloom dresses. Seeing wedding day photographs of future mothers and grandmothers beaming—as if knowing the happiness they feel will be passed down to their daughters—is a bittersweet reminder of the mother she's never known.

And as she and her handsome beau, Adam Taylor, start talking about marriage, not having her mother by her side weighs on Sabrina's heart more and more each day.

But when a bride walks into the store with a family dress made of rare parachute silk from World War Two, Sabrina feels hope rise again in her chest. Because the bride also has a photograph. A photo, Sabrina is sure, shows her mother's face…

With the answers to what happened all those years ago almost within reach, Sabrina decides to risk another journey through the past—and this time, with Adam by her side. He'd never let her travel alone, to a time when air raid sirens broke the silence of the night, and bombs fell on Liverpool.

Together, will they finally solve the mystery of Sabrina's real family? Or will the dangers of the darkest days of World War Two prevent Adam and Sabrina from returning to their own time?

This completely heartbreaking and sweeping historical fiction novel is perfect for fans of Barbara Davis, Sandy Taylor, and Jean Grainger. This gut-wrenching tale of love, loss, and family secrets tied to the final years of the war will have you reaching for the tissues.
