When Joe Murphy’s wife, Linda, spies an ad for a “beautiful 3-story Victorian house in need of some TLC,” the couple jumps at the chance for their dream home. Renovating it will allow them to indulge their passion for antiques and to get closer to an era they believe was a better time. Privately, Joe hopes that the project will also fill the void that has opened within their family life. They embark upon a grueling three-year renovation to restore the house to its former splendor, and everything seems perfect…until the morning Joe awakes to find a horse-drawn milk cart in his driveway and his family inexplicably transported back to the year 1909. Suddenly the Murphys’ dream for a simpler time becomes a shocking reality, one in which they will struggle to adapt to turn-of-the-century Iowa while seeking a way to return home. Completely Restored is a unique page-turner of a novel, filled with historical figures and events that help to teach a modern family about the simple joys of life. Reader Reviews: “An Unassuming Jewel!, Robert Kerr's Completely Restored, starts as a very unassuming book…But Kerr is careful not to turn this into a simple romantic view of the past by interjecting a number of plot arcs which also convey how different the rule of law, child protection, and the limitations of medicine were one hundred years ago…The book evokes a feeling of nostalgia and desire for simpler times while at the same time making one appreciate the things they have today.” Todd Fonseca, Minneapolis, MN, Author of The Time Cavern “…obviously a natural story teller and this fact shines through on each page… a ‘page turner’…after the first couple of pages into this book, you will be completely hooked and have a difficult time putting it down until the conclusion. Highly recommend this one and highly recommend you put it on your reading list.” Don Blankenship, The Ozarks - Amazon.com Top 100 Reviewer “I read the first five pages on the website and you’ve got me hooked!” Phyllis Pratt, Des Moines, IA “It was nice to read about an American family who cared for each other and which come together, not pull apart, to solve different dilemmas. Robert Kerr seems to have the knack to intertwine suspense with history.” Carolyn Strickler, Des Moines, IA “I'm speechless! Completely Restored is great reading for the whole family…I can't wait to read his next one.” Pat Wadkins, Grand Island, NE “A fine mix of history, the mystical, and the "ticking clock". The story line and dialogue move at a good pace. A most enjoyable read.” B.G., Salina, KS "Charming! Witty! Intelligent! A Mystery with History! Fit For The Twilight Zone! History, mystery and time travel combine to make a charming, witty, and intelligently crafted tale of 'what if...?'" By Gary Val Tenuta, author of The Ezekiel Code "Unique Family Time Travel - Robert Kerr's Completely Restored is a heart-warming part mystery, part time-travel tale of a family in crisis due to unexpected circumstances. As they struggle to adjust to their new lives and try to find a way back home, they also begin to learn more about one another. Although the whole book is interesting, especially for its historical information and characters, the latter chapters pick up speed to a satisfying and unexpected end." By Edie Dykeman - Amazon.com Vine Voice “Kudos for an exciting book about so many wonderful themes--love of family, love of history, love for community!...Once I started reading Completely Restored, I couldn't put the book down. Thanks for a quality book to read during an Iowa blizzard!” Marilyn Dysart, Marshalltown, IA “Mr. Kerr has proven that you can take actual historical events and write a book that is not only enjoyable to read but also leaves you with some actual brain food! Here is one reviewer who is looking forward to Completely Restored...The Movie!” William Wilson, Marshalltown, IA

Born and raised in Nebraska, Robert Kerr has called Iowa home for more than thirty years. He attended the University of Nebraska at Kearney, The University of Kansas at Ft. Hays, and the University of Northern Iowa.

Since 1976, he has been a school psychologist in Central Iowa. He and his wife, Joan, have rehabilitated five houses, including a Victorian-era house that inspired Completely Restored. The father of two grown children, he lives with his wife in Ankeny, Iowa. Completely Restored is Robert’s first novel.

5,0 su 5 stelle Completely Entertaining
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 6 settembre 2013
Acquisto verificato
I really enjoyed this book, purely for it's entertainment value. I've sometimes daydreamed that I should have lived in a different era. Maybe as one of Scarlett O'Hara's neighbors, or around the turn of the century when things were simpler. In "Completely Restored", I got a chance to do just that vicariously.

The details of living in another era seemed very realistic, and actually addressed problems I would expect they would encounter, and how the addressed them. There were a couple of places where it required an even greater stretch of imagination to accept something. Such as having the stock certificates and being able to cash them in so quickly and easily, as total strangers in town. However, it is purely fiction, so anything is possible.

Overall, I thought it was handled well and was very interesting. I enjoyed the read, and think it would make a good book for discussions among friends or family. There was some mild language - nothing that offended me, and nothing worse than what is now allowed on network TV. But generally, it was not needed to make the point, and many people prefer to avoid it. It also would make me tend to not recommend it for younger readers. I like literature to show them that a message or story can be effectively told without over use of ugly words.

5,0 su 5 stelle excellent storyline
Recensito nel Regno Unito il 7 settembre 2012

Downloaded this as a free book, but it is well worth paying for, lovely original storyline, great characters and a good ending. The author skates slighly over some of the finer points of the story, but all in all it is well written and enjoyable, kept me enthralled had to finish it to find out what happened in the end. If you are looking for something different to the usual story, give this one a try.

4,0 su 5 stelle Hard to put down once started

A fantasy/sci-fi story that is deeply rooted in reality, "Completely Restored" is hard to put down once you started reading it. And though it is 213 pages long, I actually read it in one sitting (or shall I say one sleepless night). I laid down in bed to start reading it and found myself continuing to read way past my bedtime simply because I wanted to know what happened to Joe, Linda, Nate, Abby and Sammy, the family which the story revolved around.

Written on a first person account (via Joe's POV), the story begins in the present, then slowly brings us to the recent past and then an abrupt (as in overnight) change. The Murphys who went to bed in 2009 woke up in 1909! And this is where the story really began. Throughout the whole book, readers saw how the Murphys dealt with living 100 years before their time.

Well-written and well-put together, with all the characters developed and fleshed out nicely, this book is a total joy to read. So, why am I only giving it four stars? My answers will have ***SPOILERS*** so, please stop here if you don't want to see it.

***SPOILER ALERT***

I am a big fan of sci-fi/fantasy and I love time-travel stories. I love the way author Robert Kerr brought the readers from 2009 to 1909 via an completely restored Victorian house. There was no scientific explanation and in the book, it was explained that it was about "fate" or "faith". I could live with either of the three explanations - science, fate or faith. What I cannot live with is that even at the conclusion, the readers were left hanging.

Was Silas the reason why they were brought back? Was it because of Samuel Green? Or, was it a combination of both? There was a touch of "Quantum Leap" here - to right a wrong, as the old TV series said. But, there really was no conclusion. The ending was so abrupt. The scene was created as if an explanation will be given. But, it came to naught. Either, the author did not really write anything or somehow, the editor found the scene redundant and cut it. Nevertheless, it took away from my full enjoyment of the story and thus, I had to take away one star from my otherwise stellar review.

4,0 su 5 stelle Lovely feel good book
Recensito nel Regno Unito il 21 settembre 2012
Acquisto verificato
Loved this book. It isn't a long book and I read it on holiday in 2 sittings. Really made me wish it could happen to me, I would love to wake up one morning and find I had gone back in time. To experience life at the begining of the century. I loved the fact that the family, although initially annoyed that they didn't have their 21st century luxuaries, learn to live with what they have and indeed it brings them closer together.

I did not initially understand the end of the book when Sammy couldn't find her "angel" but it suddenly came to me in a Eurika moment when I was lying in bed trying to get to sleep.

I don't want to spoil the plot for people who may wish to read this book so will not give much away. All I will say is that it is a really good book and I am looking forward to reading another of his books.

3,0 su 5 stelle Sweet book, but...
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 1 ottobre 2012
Acquisto verificato
I thought overall this was a sweet book with a good underlying message of the importance of family, but it just felt, well, a bit undone. There were things that just didn't quite go anywhere. I kept looking for the grand reason they were catapulted back in time and never found one. *Spoilers beyond this point* What was the purpose of Georgie? It kind of went unresolved. The character was not developped in anyway and the story there did not end well. I mean his father was castrated? REALLY? And then turns murderer? And the boy himself after becoming attached to the family is left in the cold in an overcrowded foster home with nothing good coming out of any of it. It left me asking "What was the point?" In the end when their attempts to save Silas saved the baby, I thought "a-ha" the baby will turn out to be a famous person that does grand things, but he didn't. They did have an ending with Silas due to his death but then what about poor Mrs. C? She lived beside them for months and became very close to them. She was never brought into the loop of their story so one day she is with them, caring for Linda knowing she is on the brink of death, then she loses Silas, and wham! The family she has loved and lived with for 10 months just ups and vanishes? No closure there at all. I wondered why so much was put into the relationship with Silas and Sammy as well. Finally there were continuation errors. In the beginning the author describes both Joe and Linda as educators but then later Linda is a nurse..a school nurse but still, that's not an educator. She passes out after eating Christmas dinner and is then diagnosed with diabetes. Later in the book they tell someone she was diagnosed at the end of November. Again, it was a sweet read that I reasoned the purposed of was to teach the importance of family and the simpler things in life, but it felt undone at times, and overdone at others...like it was written by an amatuer who needs more practice. I don't foresee ever reading it again. I'll probably delete it from my kindle to create space for something else....
