⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
SUMMARY
When Celia Fairchild, a NYC advice columnist of the Dear Capurnia column receives a late night phone call, her life changes forever. Celia is one of three “couples” being considered by a young birth mother to adopt her baby. She throws herself into proving that despite her recent divorce she’s still perfect adoptive mother material.
But when she loses her big city job, her only option might be to sell old family Charleston home left to her by her recently departed, Aunt Calpurnia. But Celia soon learns the house is a wreck and needs a fast makeover. Is it even possible to have a renovation done in time for a meeting with the birth mother and her parents?
