Summary

"Celia Fairchild, known as advice columinist Dear Calpurnia, has insight into everybody's problems--except her own. Bruised by the end of a marriage she thought was her last chance to create a family, Celia throws herself into showing she's perfect adoptive-mother material. But proving she can provide a stable home and income is tough, especially after losing her job. Selling the house she's inherited from her recently departed, estranged aunt Calpurnia may be Celia's only shot at motherhood. Upon returning to Charleston, Celia learns that Calpurnia has kept a secret: she's become a hoarder and the house is a wreck. Selling it will require a drastic, rapid makeover. The task of renovation seems overwhelming and risky. But with the help of her 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 unexpected wisdom by a writer Robyn Carr calls 'my go-to author for feel-good novels'"--, Back cover
