Restless in Carolina in a story about a woman named Bridget Pickwick-Buchanan who is trying to help her family sell their estate to someone who will not turn it into an amusement park. It is also about her journey from a four-year period of spiritual and emotional death to life again. As Bridget struggles to regain her life again, the reader is taken on a page-turning, late-night, reading spree. The reader will come to feel as though the characters are real life people going through real life problems and begin to associate with them.
Restless in Carolina is a romance story. Not only is it about the romance between a man and woman, but also between God and his creation. Through the story Bridget learns how to trust God again. She also learns that if God does not come first in her life, whatever she put in his position will break her heart one way or another.
Restless in Carolina is a great story. I would definitely recommend this book to others. You can read the first chapter here. I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing for this review.

Book Review: Breath of Angel
Breath of Angel was an interesting book. It's story line is unique; however, I was not completely taken away with it. The story line is very frustrating. If the reader is the type of person that looks for an allegory in a book like this, I would not recommend this book. It was almost impossible to find a correlation between this book and the Bible. Towards the end of the book I did begin to like it in the sense that I couldn't put it down. Henley makes her characters come to life and the reader becomes enraptured in their experiences. If the reader is looking for allegorical references in this book, I would not recommend them read it. However, if the reader is looking for a good, entertaining, page-turning read, then this is the book for them. I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing for this review.
