I love Kristy's books so when I heard she was writing a (in part) historical fiction novel, it went immediately on my TBR!
In the present, we follow Julia who is about to get married to Hayes who she's been with for 10 years. Their is a family heirloom with a wedding veil that she will be wearing. Where it came from is a bit of a mystery.
When a video comes up at the rehearsal dinner, she reevaluates her relationship and becomes a runaway bride.
Then in the past we get the story of the Vanderbilt's- George, his wife Edith and their daughter Cornelia. They also have a veil that is passed down to each new bride.
I really liked Cornelia. She resonated with me in the fact that she didn't like being in the spotlight that her famous family brought her. (Now I don't have a famous family but I hate spotlights too). I liked her mother Edith a lot too. She didn't have her great love George with her always, but the way she carries on the family legacy and Vanderbilt Estate was remarkable with the surrounding circumstances (the 1929 Stock Market crash).
I love that this book helps you know that it's never too late to realize what your life's dream is and it's never too late to go after it.
