"Restless in Carolina" byTamara Leigh: Book Review

The title "Restless in Carolina" really appealed to me, a Southern lady, with a penchant for reading.  Getting into the book was easy as the writing style is relaxed and easy to read.  So it was a relaxing read.

Right off I saw that the key character, Bridget, is restless for several reasons.  She is a "Tree-huggin', animal-lovin'" individual who struggles with the grief of losing her husband at an early age.  She struggles, too, with a family whose interactions could be the fodder for a number of novels. 

Another key character is Bridget's Uncle Obadiah who is developing heart wrenching dementia but who also has lucid moments.  Uncle Obe has a heart's desire to right a wrong done in the past by his family before his dementia overtakes him.  "... the only proof  he requires is that of his troubled conscience." p.319   This is another cause of Bridget's restlessness.

Enter our third primary character who stirs Bridget's restlessness and.....  well, we'll let you read the story to learn how J.C. Dirk, a developer from Atlanta who is a man on the move developing green properties that have lead to his national recognition, and Bridget get acquainted and how it simply begets more restlessness for Bridget.

Enjoy your bit of Southern Carolina charm and life as author, Tamara Leigh, takes you into this world of charm and change, of fears and forgiveness.

I enjoyed this book and plan to pass it along for others to enjoy.  I recommend it for those of you who enjoy a good relaxing read and a bit of "happily ever after."
