White (The Restoration Trilogy #1) by Denise Weimer -- Book Tour Review + Giveaway

About the Book

Picture
When Jennifer Rushmore accepts a brooding bachelor’s job offer to act as coordinator for the restoration of his family’s historic doctor’s house (White), apothecary (Widow) and log cabin (Witch) in a rural Georgia community, little does she know it’s her own heart that will undergo the greatest renovation. Three stories. Three centuries. Three lessons on the healing of the heart. And one buried mystery that threatens their redemption.
White: As historic preservationist Jennifer and brooding bachelor Michael restore his ancestors’ historic doctor’s residence in a rural Georgia community, they uncover the 1920s-era prejudice and secrets that caused Michael’s branch to fall off the family tree. Recent graduate Jennifer is determined to fulfill her first professional position with integrity even if her employer lacks a proper appreciation of history. Far more challenging—and sinister—than the social landscape of Hermon are the strange accidents hinting that someone doesn’t want them on the Dunham property. Yet Michael’s and Jennifer’s own pasts pose the biggest obstacles to laying a fresh foundation of family and community.

Review

Denise Weimer has written a captivating novel that is both contemporary and historical in nature.  Jennifer Rushmore, a historic preservationist, is about to graduate and has landed a job restoring Michael Johnson’s ancestral home.  While working on the renovation, the old home, it appears that someone does not want Jennifer to be there and family background that Michael did not know about is brought to light.  With a somewhat cliff-hanger ending, leading to the next book in the series, this well-written story, with enjoyable characters, will captivate readers that enjoy novels with a rich and deep history.
