Traveler's Rest
Description:
When Abby Hollingsworth's husband, Sterling, suddenly dies, Abby is forced to sell her home and flee to Traveler's Rest, South Carolina, where she plans to fix up the century-old home she has inherited. Halfway through the job, and most of the way through her money, she finds out just how difficult a renovation can be.
Thrown into a new way of life, and mentally unprepared for the challenges she must face, Abby questions her faith as she struggles through her ordeals. Did her faith die along with her husband? Abby struggles to redefine her life, maintain her tenuous relationship with her daughter, Shelby, and rediscover her purpose while living next door to her mother-in-law, Dinky. Beneath each struggle is a challenge, and Abby wonders, Is God enough? Will he take care of my needs? Does God care? Abby's burdens pile up until she learns to turn them over to God. When she does, the knotted threads of her life finally begin to untangle.
Abby's family-and her heart-keep expanding. Traveler's Rest is the story of one woman's pursuit of happiness while struggling to find the greatest blessings hidden in the everyday difficulties life has to offer.
