Susan Snodgrass's Reviews > The Wedding Shop: A Sweet Romance

Every time I see Rachel Hauck has a new book out, I can't wait to grab it! And usually devour it. She is a master at what she does. Anointed, is what she is, to write the books she does. A reader feels the hand of God in her books. I know I do. Rachel has that supernatural touch of the Divine floating throughout the story. Always. God speaks to characters in her books. Just like He does in the real world. I appreciate that she includes the Divine touch in her books because I can feel it when I read her stories. I have been blessed so many times I can't even count them during my reading of a Rachel Hauck book. This one had just two sentences that spoke to a situation in my life and literally set me free from something that had troubled me for 5 years!

The Wedding Shop is about a young woman, home from the Air Force, and struggling with problems of her own, who decides that she will try her best to open up the old wedding shop that has been in the town of Heart's Bend, TN for over 90 years. Worn out and needing many renovations, about to fall apart in places, and closed down for many years, Haley believes it must be reopened. She can't explain why she feels this way, but she does.

The story goes back and forth between the 1930s, 1940s, and briefly in the 1950s and the present day. We also meet characters from previous books. The entire book is awesome. I had leaky eyes many a time, once had my heart plunging into my stomach, then soaring again with happiness. This is a tale of many people, their heartbreak, their joys and their walk with God. Please don't miss it.

*I was provided a copy of this book by the publisher via Net Galley in exchange for my honest review, which I have given.
