Our Fall Book Club Pick
The Wedding Veil
by Kristy Woodson Harvey
Four women. One family heirloom. A secret connection that will change their lives—and history as they know it.
The New York Times bestselling author of Under the Southern Sky and the Peachtree Bluff series brings “her signature wit, charm, and heart” (Woman’s World) to this sweeping new novel following four women across generations, bound by a beautiful wedding veil and a connection to the famous Vanderbilt family.
In the vein of Therese Anne Fowler’s A Well-Behaved Woman and Jennifer Robson’s The Gown, The Wedding Veil brings to vivid life a group of remarkable women forging their own paths—and explores the mystery of a national heirloom lost to time.
In-Person Events

I love Chico’s. It really is the only place I shop. The girlfriend jeans are the best.
I’ve started it and I’m only on page 51 and I’m already hooked! I can’t wait to read how everything is connected!
Just finished reading. Loved this story and the historical intertwining.
I’m interested in the book club
Just got my book!
Loved the book! The detail of the history and description of the emotions! ❤️❤️
I like to get ebooks from the library. Would love to know the upcoming books to reserve them.
I really enjoyed this book. Great recommendation.
I just started reading The Wedding Veil, it’s more interesting to me because I’ve been to the Biltmore Estate so I’m curious as to how the estate is going to connect in the book.
Just got the book. Loved the first one and can’t wait to get started on this one!
I am so excited for this and so grateful to everyone reading THE WEDDING VEIL–and, of course, to Chico’s for choosing it! xo Kristy
I love The Wedding Veil. I think it’s KW Harvey’s best book, and that’s saying a lot.
Chico’s in Biltmore Village is one of my main shopping destinations. I look forward to seeing Kristy there.
Fantastic book, especially if you have been to the Biltmore. Kristy is a wonderful writer and 8 loved her first foray into historical fiction.
I am just starting it!
This book was absolutely amazing and I loved when the Chit Chat Chic ladies went live with their conversation about the book. I especially connected with Babs and thoroughly enjoyed her relationship with Julia.
Loved the book and really connected with the characters. Beautifully written.
Loved the stories and how they connected. I’ve always wanted to go to the Biltmore Estate and now I really am determined to get there!
