Restless in Carolina tells the story of thirty-something Bridget Pickwick Buchanan who is still deeply grieving the loss of her husband four years ago. From a well-established family in the south, she is something of a wild flower in a field of lilies; just as beautiful but sticks out. Due to financial troubles and the desire of her uncle to pay retribution for a long-standing dispute with another family, the family estate needs to be sold. Her love of nature and environmentalist beliefs cause her to seek out a buyer for the estate who has earth-friendly plans for development.
Enter J.C. Dirk, the developer Bridget is seeking. His plans seem acceptable and his price is right but is it too good to be true? Is everything as it seems? Can Bridget learn to trust God to take care of her after seemingly ignoring her request to heal her husband?
This book is a great summer read. It is very entertaining, mildly thought-provoking, and easy to read. Although it was a little predictable, I still enjoy the way the author unfolded the plot. She depicts Bridget as an authentic person who is struggling with her faith in God. If you are looking for a good piece of chick-lit, this book is for you.
**I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review.
