To unravel that long-lost summer, she had to follow the thread...

Florence Connelly is left broken hearted when her marriage collapses and her beloved grandmother dies. Even the joy she found in dressmaking is gone.

But things change when Flo finds a box of vintage 1960s dress patterns hidden in her grandmother's wardrobe. Each pattern packet contains a fabric swatch, a postcard from Europe and a photograph of a mysterious young woman, Nancy Moon, wearing the hand-made dress.

When Flo discovers that Nancy was a distant relation who took the boat train to Paris in 1962 and never returned, she decides to follow Nancy's thread. Along the way, unravels an untold story of love and loss in her family's past. And begins to stitch the pieces of her own life back together.
