The Restoration of Celia Fairchild

A sharp, funny, and sisterhood-fueled story about a woman who dispensed wisdom to the world, and then had to find some of her own.

Celia Fairchild, known as advice columnist ‘Dear Calpurnia’, has insight into everybody’s problems, except her own. Still bruised by the end of a marriage she thought was her last chance to create a family, Celia receives an unexpected answer to a “Dear Birthmother” letter. Celia throws herself into proving she’s a perfect adoptive mother material, with a stable home and income, only to lose her job. Her one option: sell the Charleston house left to her by her recently departed, estranged Aunt Calpurnia.
