The Girl In The White Dress | PAUL. BARRELL
1 post | 1 read | 3 to read
The Girl in the White Dress is quite simply unforgettable and unputdownable. It is based on true story . Every Family has secrets. Imagine discovering you were guilty of something you can't remember. 1974 A family from London take a trip of a lifetime to the Caribbean aboard the cruise liner Oriana. 2005 The Peak District. Following the death of his wife, Paul finds a menu card from the Oriana covered in personal messages from the ghosts of his childhood.One particular address catches his eye, and memories are stirred as he begins to dream about a girl in a white dress.Gradually with his mothers help he starts to unravel the identity of a long forgotten childhood sweetheart, and the disturbing truth about an incident that took place in their cabin.Something that would implicate his whole family, a Pandoras box of lies and deceit.Paul never saw the girl again after the cruise . Their shared guilt had remained hidden for 30 years. That was until today... It is a remarkable true story about loss and grief, and one persons quest for the truth. Sometimes in life things happen to us that are beyond our control; you don't need to believe in ghosts or the supernatural, just believe in the Universe and the threads of random chance that link us all together.

Here secrets long forgotten are unearthed. Can Paul make amends and put things right?
