Beskrivelse af The Secret Keeper of Main Street
From acclaimed novelist Trisha Thomas comes the story of Bailey Dowery, a dressmaker in 1950s Oklahoma whose gift of ?second sight? pulls her into a dangerous small-town scandal involving a society wedding, a murder, and shocking family secrets.1954: In the rural town of Mendol, Oklahoma, Bailey Dowery is a dressmaker for the wives and daughters of local oil barons. A talented seamstress, she earns a good living fitting designer gowns and creating custom wedding dresses for the town's White elite. But Bailey, who is Black, has another special gift: the sight, which she inherited from her long-dead mother. If she touches someone, Bailey has sudden flashes of intuition? witnessing the other person's hopes, dreams, and nightmares, as well as glimpses of their past and future. To protect herself, she wears gloves to keep from grazing the skin of her clients as she pins them into their gowns.But word about Bailey's gift has slowly gotten out. Brides have whispered that Bailey can see if their true love is faithful, or if their marriage will be a success. Her aunt Charlene has always warned her, ?It's safer to stay out of White folks' business,? but Bailey will reluctantly provide a reading during a fitting, as long as the bride promises to be discreet.Now Elsa Grimes, daughter of one of the richest oil men in Oklahoma, begs Bailey for an appointment. Elsa's big society wedding is imminent and her gown is gorgeous, but she is the least joyful bride Bailey has ever seen. What Bailey's intuition uncovers when she touches Elsa's hand horrifies her. Against her better judgment, she's determined to help Elsa in whatever way she can. But when the son of a prominent family turns up dead on the eve of Elsa's wedding, and the bride-to-be is arrested for his murder, Bailey is suddenly at the center of a firestorm that threatens to overtake both the Black and White communities of Mendol.
