I loved every page. chrisac | Feb 25, 2021 | Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThingSUB2>.This book that is mainly set in Charleston, SC was an overall enjoyable read. The main character, Celia, came across as a person I would like to know.... not just in her previous "life" as a famous advice columnist, but as the neighbor next door. There was a slight over-abundance of characters that made it a little tough in the beginning to keep them all "organized" in my mind, but they mostly added to the development of the story and of the main character. My favorite character was Calvin, the best friend, who would do anything for Celia. I could easily imagine this book as a movie for Hallmark, Lifetime or even PBS.... it made me smile!

Popular advice columnist Celia Fairchild longs for a child. It is only after she is divorced and no longer working that she learns a pregnant teen is considering her “Dear Birthmother” letter to adopt the unborn child. At the same time Celia is contacted and told that her Aunt Calpernia died and that she has inherited the family home in Charleston. What a surprise it is to find that her aunt had become a hoarder and that the lovely property she remembered was now in deplorable condition.
With encouragement from her best friend, Calvin, it is decided that she will leave New York and remain in Charleston to restore, clean out, and move into the home. Getting the work done before a planned home visit from the adoption attorney is a challenge, but Celia finds unexpected help from her new friends and neighbors.
Every person in this book has a reason for being there. Each has a distinct personality and a role to fill in making The Restoration of Celia Fairchild a complete story.
I won an advance copy through the Early Reviewers at LibraryThing.com with no promise of a positive review. This is the first time I have read one of this author’s books and look forward to reading more of her work. (
