Annie Dawson’s attic in Grey Gables has divested itself of many treasures since the Texan inherited her grandmother’s home in Stony Point, Maine, but none as romantic and mysterious as the beautiful wedding dress she finds gracing an old mannequin concealed beneath a sheet along with a hand-crafted veil and pair of gloves. The dress carries an indelible link back to the first inhabitant of the Victorian mansion, a courageous seafaring captain whose name Annie has never heard until she uncovers the wedding dress in the attic. Captain Zacharias Grey built Grey Gables with the intent of making the house and Stony Point the home for his new bride and their family. At about the time Annie discovers the wedding dress, the youngest son of Gwendolyn Palmer, Annie’s Hook and Needle Club friend, returns home to Stony Point with a wedding-related surprise of his own— a stunning redhead from County Kerry in Ireland whom he introduces as his fiancée. Dervla O’Keefe swept Tony Palmer off his feet while he toured the British Isles after completing his MBA at Harvard. But the fairy-tale love story isn’t exactly the surprise that Gwendolyn had expected. Meanwhile, renowned artist Andrew Gareth has made Stony Point the latest subject of his quest to capture on canvas the character of all the states of the Union. Grey Gables is central to his plans for his Maine exhibition. But his interest seems to go much deeper than it should. Has his life’s path somehow intertwined with Stony Point and Grey Gables? Join Annie and her friends in the Hook and Needle Club as they join forces to connect all of the clues and solve the mystery of the wedding dress—and how it found its way into Annie’s attic.
