Home Repair

It was suggested to me that I read this book. A friend of the author had read my blog and told me this book might be one I'd like. I've been wary of books offered up to me. Lately I've had nothing but disappointments.

Not this book. Not sure how the friend of the author knew this, but this book was an absolutely perfect match for me...a main character, Eve, who has been widowed and now abandoned by a second husband, leaving his family during a garage sale, no less. Left with two kids to raise. A shaky job. Odd and unstable friends. A cranky mother.

Doesn't sound like we're going to see a happily-ever-after ending here. But strangely we do, though not in ways we'd ever expect. The author has that wonderful ability to take life seriously while also laughing it off. A lovely read.
