“A pure delight from start to finish!”\u2014Kate Quinn, New York Times bestselling author of The Diamond Eye<\/p>\n

Acclaimed author Trisha R. Thomas delivers a masterful new tale of scandal and intuition. In 1950s oil-rich Oklahoma, Bailey Dowery, a dressmaker with the gift of \u201csecond sight,\u201d reluctantly reveals the true loves and intentions of her socialite clients, making her a silent witness to a shocking crime.<\/p>\n

1954: In the quaint town of Mendol, Oklahoma, Bailey Dowery is a Black dressmaker for the wives and daughters of local oil barons. She earns a good living fitting designer gowns and creating custom wedding dresses for the town\u2019s elite. But beyond her needle and thread lies a deeper talent, one passed down from her mother: the gift of insight. With just a fleeting touch or brush against the skin, Bailey has sudden flashes of intuition\u2014witnessing the other person\u2019s hopes, dreams, and nightmares, as well glimpses of their past and future. To protect herself, she wears gloves to keep from grazing the skin of her clients as she pins them into their gowns.<\/p>\n

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, \u201cIt\u2019s safer to stay out of White folks\u2019 business.\u201d But Bailey will reluctantly provide a reading during a fitting, as long as the bride promises to be discreet.<\/p>\n

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. Elsa\u2019s big society wedding is imminent and her gown is gorgeous, but what Bailey\u2019s intuition uncovers when she touches Elsa\u2019s hand horrifies her. Against her better judgment, she\u2019s determined to help Elsa in whatever way she can. But when the son of a prominent family turns up dead on the eve of Elsa\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n
