The Wedding Pearls Kindle Edition

by Carolyn Brown (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars (13,161)

Tessa Wilson’s life is all over the map. She may be clumsy, but this time she’s stumbled into a pickle by choice, not by accident. She’s agreed to take a month-long trip around Texas jammed into a ’59 Cadillac with a drama-loving teenager, two elderly spitfires, and—oh, yes—her biological mama who gave her away at birth. And the ride gets even crazier when hot-as-sin cowboy Branch Thomas crosses into her lane. They don’t call him the sexiest man in the Lone Star State for nothin’.

As the miles pass and sparks fly between Tessa and Branch, her grandmother starts dropping hints about family wedding traditions. And as Tessa discovers the power of her budding friendships and the unbreakable strength of her newfound family of strong Texas women, she wonders if she’s also on the road to the biggest adventure of all: true love.

    The Wedding Pearls is yet another reason that Carolyn Brown is one of my favorite authors. Her wit and charm come out in every book and her characters come alive, making you feel you know them and missing them when the book is finished. She takes Southern to a whole new level. Reading her books is a delightful experience. The themes she writes about are fundamental and important but the way she writes them into her books leaves you with a smile on your face. After reading one of her books, the reader wants to be best friends with Carolyn Brown. She's a hoot.

    Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2018

    Tessa has always wondered where her clumsiness comes from. She knows she's adopted and she never managed to keep up with her mother's gracefulness and ability to dance. Tessa has a travel agency together with her cousin. She usually books trips for other people, but this time she gets the chance to see something of the country herself. Tessa receives an invitation to travel with her birth mother, grandmother, grandmother's best friend, a suspended teenager and their lawyer Branch. She's never met the family before and instead of slowly getting to know them she's about to spend each hour of the day for an entire month with them, will this be a good plan?

    While traveling with two crazy old ladies, a mother with tattoos and plenty of attitude and a teenager who got caught in high school drama with a high price Tessa slowly finds the fiery side of herself. Sparks fly between her and Branch and Tessa's grandmother would like her family's heirloom, beautiful wedding pearls, to finally have their chance to shine again. Tessa has a strong connection with her new family, but the trip isn't only about joy and happiness, it will be an emotional roller coaster she'll never forget. Will it change Tessa's life forever?

    The Wedding Pearls is a fantastic original story. I loved every single page of this magical book. Tessa is a kindhearted woman with a lovely caring personality. While traveling with her new family she discovers she also has a fierce and protective side. Her childhood was filled with love and getting to know her biological family only makes that feeling stronger. Tessa adores the crazy side of the ladies she's on a trip with. They're fun, dynamic and their pizzazz knows no bounds. I fell in love with the two fabulous old friends from the beginning as well, reading about them put a huge smile on my face. Their adventures are truly terrific and I had a brilliant time reading about the trip and each destination.

    Carolyn Brown has a wonderful heartwarming writing style. Her stories are true gems and each one has found a place in my heart. The Wedding Pearls is an amazing book. The road trip of a lifetime is filled with surprises, there's plenty of mischief, I loved the terrific banter, life lessons and deep wisdom and the ladies' abundance of creative plans made me laugh out loud. There's such a strong bond between the main characters, everything fits and the romance made my heart sing. I love it when a story impresses me so much that it will stay with me for many years and The Wedding Peals definitely falls into that category. There aren't enough superlatives to describe this story. It's an absolute must-read.

    A 30 year old woman who has been adopted since birth and remained totally comfortable with her knowledge of adoption and with her parents is suddenly introduced into the world of her biological mother, grand-mother and friends and relatives of both. The wealthy biological Grandma plans a last hurrah in the form of a drive around the State of Texas before settling into a nursing home with her lifelong friend. She invites the granddaughter to join the other 4 females and a handsome lawyer/rancher driver of the Grandma's convertible Cadillac named "Mollybedamned". After much anguish the granddaughter agrees to take the ride and so starts a delightful frolic with each getting to know each other better and relishing each others company. A delightful romp full of love and day to day happiness. The wedding pearls are a family heirloom and traditionally are hung around the neck of a daughter by a mother on her daughter's wedding day. The tradition remains unbroken. There is a pleasant ending and the novel is a joy to read. 4 and a half stars.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Delightful Story!
    Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2023
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    This is one of my favorite stories written by this author. It has compelling characters, from a youthful sixteen year old to youthful octogenarians and all others in between. I could identify with all of them! I enjoyed the adventures described in each chapter as the two elderly women commanded a road trip around Texas as their last hurrah before their life-ending illness took them away from this world. As the story unfolded, the reader learns about the reason for one unmarried woman's decision to make an adoption plan for her daughtet, and how that mother and her biological daughter met after a!most 30 years. The reader learns about all the family members, their secrets, and of course the romances, as well as the worries and concerns of each character. This story has all the good feels that readers expect and enjoy. Lots of humor, sass, and tears fill the book. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for this sort of relationship building story.

    5.0 out of 5 stars This Story, all your stories, help heal my heart
    Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2019
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Bare with me. I’ve had the oddest year. It’s been good, stressful, surprising, financially awesome, heartbreaking and joyous... probably a mix of emotions in between all of those too. I’ve read everyone of your books I can download back to back since the first of 2019. I feel connected to each set of characters as if they are my friends and family (and the real life “characters” in my world are lovely and fill me with pride and love).

    As the months have gone by I have felt the breaks in my heart find their places and begin to heal. I feel more whole. I’m beginning to put my thoughts back together so I can begin writing again. I’m now thinking of the future as an unknown adventure instead of something that causes me anxiety. I have some great ideas to share with the world to help other people going through difficult moments.

    I’m ready to leave behind my doubts, embrace my now, and look forward to the unknown with something akin to wonder... dare I say excitement.

    But this book, this book pulled me in, slapped me a couple times with its extreme emotions and I could hear my grandmother whispering, “get it together girl” and my father, “let go of what’s done”. So, ok. You gave me a good cry, many giggles, and a few butterflies with this book about how beautiful everything we go through in life truly is. All of it. Thank you, Carolyn. Starting another story sometime today.

    It is a travel and love story, but more than that, if speaks of family traditions and bounds among generations. How different lifestyles can blend together to give everyone concerned more aims and values. The Texas/Louisiana English spoken language enhances charm to the story.

    Wow . How do i put into words the emotions i felt reading this book. ?
    I don't know if i can. But i can say that i have not cried so hard in a book since i read shattered hearts by K.E Osborn. I fell in instant love with the characters in the wedding pearls. Everyone of those characters you could relate to. They all brought something to the table and left you wishing you had people like that in your real life. This book should be made into a movie. That's how good it is. Frankie and Ivy remind me so much of my best friend and i . We call our selves Thelma and Louise but now we are more Frankie and Ivy for sure. Lol please read this book it has a wonderful story very touching and heart welming and leaves you with a bit of hope that may be one day you and your best friend can ride off on a road trip to celebrate life on your own terms with the people you love most at your side and enjoy what days you may have left on Gods green earth.

    Ten Stars for this wonderful story!!! Every book of Carolyn Brown's is her best ever because she gives her best to each story and the characters are so real you literally have to remind yourself they're make believe. Go on this journey with Tessa and her birth family and new friends in the grand Dame 59 Caddy and you'll get wrapped up tight into the folds of an eclectic, adorable and sassy group of folks just brimming over in love and what it is to cherish each day, each moment and peel back the onion layers of your life to discover who you are, who you love and what's truly important in the time within the dash of your timeline. Loved! Loved! Loved the Wedding Pearls! This book blessed my heart and moved my spirit. I belly-laughed out loud and wept with my new friends in Boomtown. I rarely read a book more than once so the To Be Re-Read pile isn't huge and only contains the stories that evoke all my emotions and stick with my heart. This book is in the sacred pile and keeping company with most of Carolyn's other gems.
