Welcome to Swinton-on-Sea, the book capital of Scotland, where the number of bookstores outnumbers the population. In "Summer of Hope," we meet Ann Webster, the owner of the cozy boutique "Vintage & Couture," where they sell not just clothes, but the stories of the women who wore them.
No one knows that Ann has a secret. Two, actually. First: at night, she transforms into Poppy Delacroix, the author of rather frank romance novels. Second: in her shop window hangs an antique wedding dress with a "Not for Sale" sign. This dress is a witness to her own tragedy. Many years ago, she was supposed to wear it down the aisle, but the groom never showed.
Now, 25 years later, Ray, who broke her heart, returns. He restores the old estate, and at the same time stirs up the ashes of past loves. Meanwhile, a publisher offers Ann to write a book about that very dress. This offer compels her to begin an investigation. Who owned the dress before her? Why did Jackie Kennedy herself reject it? And what tragedy lies behind the coat of arms found on an old chest?
Anne's search will lead her into the archives, uncovering the secrets of London high society in the 1950s and the fate of one of the town's oldest residents. Meanwhile, she must navigate her own life: her daughter, who is getting married, and her ex-husband, Colin, who seems to still love her.
