When a teenage girl disappears, a small town is awash with rumors: everyone is
talking about the dress she wore, a midnight-blue dress made from the remnants
of other dresses: a dress of stories. For her whole life, Rose Lovell has moved
from town to town with her alcoholic father. When they wash up in a coastal
sugarcane town, Rose wonders if this time it will be different. At the local
high school, Rose meets Pearl Kelly, who is popular, pretty and intent on
tracking down her Russian father. When she convinces Rose to be part of the
annual Harvest Parade, Rose must find a special dress for the occasion. She
seeks the help of the eccentric Edie Baker, who knows all the town's secrets and
whose own family is a rich tapestry of stories. When Rose agrees to let Edie
teach her to sew, she doesn't realize that nothing will ever be the same again.
The Midnight Dress weaves an intriguing story of loss and longing to the very
last page.
