Restless in Carolina by Tamara Leigh

Widow, Bridgett Pickwick-Buchanan, is planted in the past as firmly as anything in her greenhouse is in the soil she sticks them in. Tree-hugging and family-bound, Bridgett is looking for a way to preserve her family's estate in the most natural way possible and still help settle past debts incurred by the less scrupulous members of the Pickwick Clan.

J.C. Dirks, tree-hugging developer extraordinaire, is searching for answers of his own which bring him to the Pickwick Estate for more than the green property development options for which he's notorious. Passionate and driven, J.C. seems to be the answer to Bridgett's problems, but the past continually comes between them. Can J.C. and Bridgett uproot from their pasts enough to have a future together?

I really enjoyed reading Restless in Carolina. Leigh's characters are solid and quirky with real world issues that are not all resolved in one 340 page book but are developed and thoughtful coming to a clear resolution. I like history and always appreciate learning about other parts of the country through fiction. If you are looking for a Christian read with interesting characters who see their own flaws and the One who can fix them, Restless in Carolina is the book for you.
