The Dressmakers of Yarrandarrah Prison by Meredith Jaffe

'Deliciously original, immersive and darkly funny ...
a refreshing take on redemption and second chances'
Joanna Nell

Derek's daughter, Debbie is getting married. He's desperate to be
there, but he's banged up in Yarrandarrah Correctional Centre for
embezzling funds from the golf club, and, thanks to his ex-wife,
Lorraine, he hasn't spoken to Debbie in years. He wants to make
a grand gesture, to show her how much he loves her. But what?

Inspiration strikes while he's embroidering a cushion at his weekly
prison sewing circle - he'll make her a wedding dress. His fellow
stitchers rally around and soon this motley gang of crims is
immersed in a joyous whirl of silks, satins and covered buttons.

But as time runs out and tensions rise both inside and outside
the prison, the wedding dress project takes on greater significance.
With lives at stake, Derek feels his chance to reconcile with
Debbie is slipping through his fingers ...

A funny, dark, and moving novel about finding humanity, 
friendship and redemption in unexpected places.

'Like the wedding dress, this story is unique, memorable,
exquisitely detailed and full of both heart and hope'
Kylie Ladd
