Resumen del Editor

“The Restoration of Celia Fairchild is wise, witty, and utterly compelling.” —Jane Green, New York Times bestselling author of The Friends We Keep

Evvie Drake Starts Over meets The Friday Night Knitting Club in this wise and witty novel about a fired advice columnist who discovers lost and found family members in Charleston, by the New York Times bestselling author of The Second Sister.

Celia Fairchild, known as advice columnist "Dear Calpurnia", has insight into everybody’s problems—except her own. Still bruised by the end of a marriage she thought was her last chance to create a family, Celia receives an unexpected answer to a “Dear Birthmother” letter. Celia throws herself into proving she’s a perfect adoptive mother material—with a stable home and income—only to lose her job. Her one option: sell the Charleston house left to her by her recently departed, estranged Aunt Calpurnia.

Arriving in Charleston, Celia learns that Calpurnia had become a hoarder, the house is a wreck, and selling it will require a drastic, rapid makeover. The task of renovation seems overwhelming and risky. But with the help of new neighbors, old friends, and an unlikely sisterhood of strong, creative women who need her as much as she needs them, Celia knits together the truth about her estranged family—and about herself.

The Restoration of Celia Fairchild is an unforgettable novel of secrets revealed, laughter released, creativity rediscovered, and waves of wisdom by a writer Robyn Carr calls "my go-to author for feel-good novels.”

Loved it!

Not what I expected! I thought this story would be depressing and the main character full of bad luck! But it was very touching and laugh out loud funny! Very interesting and entertaining.

Loved!

Excellent story and wonderful characters… though it was a bit slow at the start, I loved this book! Highly recommended…

Marvelous!

Scrolling through the library for just any book to listen to in order to occupy my mind, I somewhat casually chose this book and now that I’m done…just Wow! This author has a wonderful grasp on evoking emotion through written word. The timing of the storyline is near perfect, the details were just the right amount and it’s nice for there to be a ‘not perfect’ ending. I think it’s more believable sometimes :)
Great book, I will have to read more of this author!

A Full Heart

All the feel goods for a time when people need hope and a reminder to be grateful for small blessings.

Excellent!

Definitely worth a credit. It’s a great story! I rarely Leave a review but this was worth it. Don’t think about it just get it

Restoration….

….is the theme of this book. I have read all of Marie Bostwick’s books and I have enjoyed all of them.

Uplifting story and great Narration!

With all the turmoil in the world, this was a welcome respite, uplifting and endearing. Just what I needed!

Fiction with a Flair

My initial reaction was not to like Cecilia. She was too business like and I was looking for one of Bostwick's human interest personalities. So I started over and paid close attention to who she really was and then began to love her. Cecilia's story is an amazing one a setbacks, challenges , abandonment and I won't spoil the ending. I highly recommend this audio book!

LOVED IT!!!!!!

I have always enjoyed Ms. Bostwick’s books. Being a fiber artist myself, I love the way she weaves her words together in a complex pattern while knitting up her story into a comfortable, soft blanket for my heart.

Could not put it down....

I could not put “The Restoration of Celia Fairchild” down! The storyline, characters and breadth of the story was terrific. The performance by Sarah Naughton was also fitting for the fantastic book! Bravo!
