Restless in Carolina

By Tamara Leigh

Description:

Tree-huggin', animal-lovin' Bridget Pickwick-Buchanan is on a mission. Well, two. First, she has to come to terms with being a widow at thirty-three. After all, it's been four years and even her five-year-old niece and nephew think it's time she sheds her widow's weeds. Second, she needs to find a buyer for her family's estate--a Biltmore-inspired mansion surrounded by hundreds of acres of unspoiled forestland. With family obligations forcing the sale, Bridget is determined to find an eco-friendly developer to buy the land, someone who won't turn it into single-family homes or a cheesy theme park.

Enter J.C. Dirk, a high-energy developer from Atlanta whose green property developments have earned him national acclaim. When he doesn't return her calls, Bridget decides a personal visit is in order. Unfortunately, J.C. Dirk is neither amused nor interested when she interrupts his meeting--until she mentions her family name. In short order, he finds himself in North Carolina, and Bridget has her white knight--in more ways than one. But the things Bridget doesn't know about J.C. could mean the end of everything she's worked for...and break her heart.

Book Takeaway:

I hope the reader takes with her the message that: 1) God can heal our hurts if we invite Him in; 2) forgiveness not only unburdens the forgiven, but the forgiver.
