Summary
"When seasoned renovaters Greg and Denise Broadwater dream of restoring a historic home in downtown Charleston, South Carolina, they have no idea they will face years of hard work and dozens of obstacles while living in their condemned 1920s Charleston Cottage in a transitional neighborhood. All this while going through empty-nest stressors on their thirty-year marriage, family weddings, and both working full time. The tension takes the Broadwaters to the brink. Through [this] memoir ... the author and therapist shares how she and her craftsman-architect husband strengthened the holes in both their home and their relationship during this wearying time. Marriage principles have been woven ... into the text, demonstrating ways to maintain relationships in the midst of difficulties. Reflective questions close each chapter so that readers may ponder their own relationships with growth and understanding."--Page [4] of cover
