In this novella collection, three renowned Christian historical fiction authors trace generations of wartime romances through a wedding dress with love sewn into its seams.

A Heart in Disguise by Rachel Scott McDaniel

Clara Westlake loves her job in the US “Camouflage Corps,” sewing suits for snipers and contributing to the war effort. But when she overhears a threat against her beloved New York City, the Great War comes too close to home—except no one believes her forewarning. She must recruit Marcus Reeves, a childhood friend searching for his purpose after suffering a devastating war injury. As they hunt for clues, they may also uncover a love that lasts.

A Letter to Eli by Allison Pittman

Bette and Alice are longtime friends, trying to make a good life for themselves in New York City while World War II rages. It’s never far from their thoughts—not with Alice’s fiancé serving at sea, in danger every minute. That’s a worry Bette doesn’t envy. Then a secret letter reunites her with her soldier ex-boyfriend, now wounded and back in the States. But can the innocent love these two had before the war be rekindled in the face of tragedy?

A Daffodil in the Dress by Susie Finkbeiner

Kate Becker and Ike Finch have worked together at his family’s bookstore since Kate’s husband died in the early days of the Vietnam War. Because she has bills to pay and her daughter, Eloise, to take care of, the job was a godsend. A second love is not in the cards, especially with the world still teetering on the edge of insanity. But when Ike brings little Eloise special flowers one spring day, Kate begins to look at him as more than an employer. Is falling in love again worth the risk?
