Story
Decades ago, after the death of his wife, Texas ranch hand JT Tucker took his three small daughters to California to start a new life.

But when he dies suddenly at the age of 64, the ranch is inherited by his three daughters - each of them finding it impossible to believe that this larger-than-life figure is gone from their lives.

Story
India Taylor lived in a world of manicured lawns and neatly maintained calendars: a merry-go-round of Little League, piano lessons, and Cape Cod summer vacations. With four wonderful children, India believed in Doug, the man she married 17 years before. For India, this was the promise she made, the life she had chosen - not the award-winning career as a photojournalist she once had. It was a choice she had never truly regretted. Until she begins to regret it with all her heart.
Publisher's Summary
In Danielle Steel’s epic new novel, the lives of four generations of women in one family span fortune and loss, motherhood, tragedy, and victories.
From the glamorous San Francisco social scene of the 1920s, through war and the social changes of the ’60s, to the rise of Silicon Valley today, this extraordinary novel takes us on a family odyssey that is both heartbreaking and inspiring, as each generation faces the challenges of their day.
The Parisian design houses in 1928, the crash of 1929, the losses of war, the drug culture of the 1960s - history holds many surprises, and lives are changed forever. For richer or for poorer, in cramped apartments and grand mansions, the treasured wedding dress made in Paris in 1928 follows each generation into their new lives, and represents different hopes for each of them, as they marry very different men.
From inherited fortunes at the outset to self-made men and women, the wedding dress remains a cherished constant for the women who wear it in each generation and forge a destiny of their own. It is a symbol of their remaining traditions and the bond of family they share in an ever-changing world.

Pleasantly surprised
I’m not certain why I have never read Danielle Steele’s books - I’ve seen them for years and I guess I thought they were not for me. But I was searching for something different and I truly enjoyed this story! Consider me a new fan. Rich characters and the story moves appropriately through the years.

DS has done it again and created a story that flows at a good speed, has a lovely enduring family history full of twists and turns. The characters are believable and there is no repetition dragging the plot out. Can't recommend more highly enough, once you start it you won't want to stop.

Another 20th Century traditional family saga
Todd McLaren does an excellent job of narration on this Danielle Steel novel which was published in April 2020 during the lockdown when a family saga with all its drama, opulence, hardship, bravery, depression and World War 2 seem somehow relevant to current times.
Some of the story is slow as it goes into incredible detail and then suddenly jumps forward twenty years with only a brief explanation of how we got there. But this is yet another DS story that takes the listener into another world and keeps them hooked.
There’s not much women’s liberation in the 1920’s but there are of course the usual strong women characters with five generations navigating their way to a satisfying conclusion.
Danielle Steel is still prolific after decades of number one bestsellers, she’s still publishing six books a year and her fans eagerly await her next one.
They will be delighted with The Wedding Dress.

A romantic study in generational sin
Danielle Steel knows human nature. She never writes anything implausible, kudos to her also for her historical research. Her children are lucky to have her as a mother
