This week’s book giveaway will run for three weeks and is for the inspirational contemporary romance series: Restoring Heritage series by Tari Faris.
What are these books about?
Realtor Hannah Thornton has many talents. Unfortunately, selling houses in the town where her family name is practically poison isn’t one of them. When a business tycoon determines to raze historic homes in the small town of Heritage, Michigan, and replace them with a strip mall, Hannah resolves to stop him. She sets about helping Heritage win a restoration grant that will put the town back on the map–and hopefully finally repay the financial debt Hannah’s mother caused the town. But at first no one supports her efforts–not even her best friend, Luke.
Luke Johnson may have grown up in Heritage, but as a foster kid he never truly felt as if he belonged. Now he has a chance to score a job as assistant fire chief and earn his place in the town. But when the interview process and Hannah’s restoration project start unearthing things from his past, Luke must decide if belonging is worth the pain of being honest about who he is–and who he was.
When she hears that the small town of Heritage, Michigan, is looking for a new librarian, Libby Kingsley jumps at the opportunity. Little did she know the library is barely more than a storage closet stuffed with dusty, outdated books. What the community really needs is a new building. But the only funds available are those being channeled into the new town square, and the landscape architect in charge of the project wants nothing to do with her plans.
All Austin Williams wants to do is get the town square project finished so he can do right by the family business and then extricate himself from the town that reveres the brother who cost him so much. But the local media and the town’s new librarian seem to be conspiring against him at every turn. Will the determined bookworm find her way into his blueprints–and possibly even his heart?
Leah Williams is back in the quaint town of Heritage, Michigan, and ready to try again to make her business a success. But blank slates are hard to come by, and a piece of her past is waiting for her there. Heir to the Heritage Fruits company, Jonathan Kensington is the guy who not only made Leah’s past difficult, he also seems determined to complicate her present as well.
Jon is trying to prove to the Heritage Fruits board that he, not his manipulative uncle, should be running the business. The board insists Jon find a new owner for the building that will house Leah’s business. To avoid forcing a buyout of Leah’s part of the building, Jon strikes a compromise with Leah, and the two go into business together. With her vision and his know-how, it might work. And Leah might realize he’s loved her since high school. If only he didn’t keep on shooting himself in the foot by boxing her out of important decisions.

I don’t have any old buildings in my small town to restore but I’d love to fix up my home since it’s about 25 years old. We’ve down-sized four times and now I wish we had more room. That is what I’d lke to restore and expand. My town is relatively new.
Loraine
Thanks for sharing Sally. 🙂

Personally, I would love to restore some of the buildings in our down town area. We are a very small, but highly tourist town. Our main area of town is the town square where the courthouse is located. The surrounding stores on all four sides could stand some helping hand to restore them to their original beauty give a beautiful accent to the main building – the courthouse. Our down town is very important because it’s a major draw for tourist coming to listen to music or to jump in and join along with others. After all, we are the Folk Music Capital!
Loraine
I think many small towns are in need of restoration. Thanks for sharing Kay. 🙂
Deana Dick
I would restore the railroad train that sits in our town and turn it into a bookstore.
Loraine
Oh I like that idea Deana. What a cool bookstore that would be. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
Linda Moffitt
That’s a hard choice my hometown is full of them and they just keep tearing them down but I guess the building Woolworths or Brody’s was in
Loraine
Ahh Woolworth’s. Am I dating myself by admitting to some fond memories in that store? Thanks for sharing Linda. 🙂
Linda Moffitt
No, Of Course Not 😉

We have some beautiful older buildings in Tuscaloosa. A good many have been restored. The Friedman house used to be a plantation house and when I was growing up the public library. I loved to walk from room to room with the floorboards creaking, the smell of older books and the general atmosphere. Now it’s being used for weddings and receptions.
Loraine
I recently visited the public library in a neighboring small town. It was built in the 1917 and still has a nostalgic atmosphere to it. Thanks for sharing your experience with us Gail. 🙂
Lelia “Lucy “ Reynolds
The movie theater in the town I was born where my parents love story began.
Loraine
Okay, I’m imagining a sweet romance story from that Lucy. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
Linda Kish
Although I live in a small town, it’s not an old small town so there aren’t any old buildings to restore. Our house is one of the older ones and it could use some restoration work. The house next door could use some, too. I’d love to go inside of it but it has been closed off by the owner. No one lives there due to its condition supposedly.
Loraine
For a few years, I lived near a small town that had older Victorian style houses that the owners received permission to use unusual colors for exterior paints. Lots of bright yellows, purples, greens, blues, pinks. It was pretty interesting. Thanks for sharing your experience with us Linda. 🙂
Janet Estridge
I would like to restore our public library.
It is a shell of it’s former self.
There are more computers than there are books.
I volunteer in the Lakes Church Library and
have for 44 years.
You can see where my heart is.
Loraine
I get that Janet. My heart aches for those older libraries. Thanks for sharing. 🙂

I would do the Old St. Mary’s Church first – it would be a lovely wedding venue.
Loraine
Thanks for commenting Natalya. 🙂

Loraine
Thanks for commenting JackieL. 🙂
Lisa Harness
The old library in the middle of town
Loraine
Thanks for commenting Lisa. 🙂
Michelle Miller
I would restore an old building and turn it into a community center. Nothing can inspire a community like bringing the community together with friends and neighbors.
Loraine
Thanks for commenting Michelle. 🙂
Abigail Harris
None to my knowledge. Last year we moved to a new small town and most of the old buildings have been redone, updated, or just had really good care so they are what they were originally used for. Or are being used for new businesses. It’s really neat that the old buildings are still in use!
