After Heather Mackenzie's grandmother Ann Hughes suddenly passes away, Heather receives a box with her name on it, in her grandmother's hand, with beautiful, sparkling embroidered floral appliqués in it but no explanatory letter. Heather takes on the role of family detective, travelling from Canada to England, and discovering the key elements of Ann's life in post-World War II London as an embroiderer in a posh dress salon. This is a captivating novel of friendship, betrayal, dedication, character, and one royally special dress. - A Reader Review by Judy Cirilli of McGregor, Minnesota
