An enchanting novel about fate, second chances, and hope, lost and found, by the Amazon Charts bestselling author of The Last of the Moon Girls. Soline Roussel is well schooled in the business of happy endings. For generations her family has kept an exclusive bridal salon in Paris, where magic is worked with needle and thread. It's said that the bride who wears a Roussel gown is guaranteed a lifetime of joy. But devastating losses during World War II leave Soline's world and heart in ruins and her faith in love shaken. She boxes up her memories, stowing them away, along with her broken dreams, determined to forget. Decades later, while coping with her own tragic loss, aspiring gallery owner Rory Grant leases Soline's old property and discovers a box containing letters and a vintage wedding dress, never worn. When Rory returns the mementos, an unlikely friendship develops, and eerie parallels in Rory's and Soline's lives begin to surface. It's clear that they were destined to meet--and that Rory may hold the key to righting a forty-year wrong and opening the door to shared healing and, perhaps, a little magic.

"I loved The Keeper of Happy Endings. It alternates between World War II and the 1980s telling the story of Soline, Anson, Rory and Camille. Soline and Anson, once in love, are separated through tragedy and time. Soline builds a life for herself but, through decades, always holds the memory of Anson as defining experiences. She is a wedding dress designer and maker who, by the 1980s, has also lost her craft, but has never forgotten the legacy of magic that generations of wedding dress makers in her family were said to possess. The only person for whom she sewed who did not seem to get a happy ending was her. This story is full of wisdom about life, love, following your dreams, forgiveness, and overcoming adversity. It also demonstrates how overcoming adversity can look different at different times, even within the same people. Our protective armor is there for a reason, only we have to determine when to keep it strong, and when to let it go. "
