I enjoy all of Melody Carlson's books, and this one is no exception. Recovering from an unexpected broken engagement, Gretchen hides her sorrow in HGTV and Ben and Jerry's. Realizing that she needs to move on with her life, she purchases a "fixer upper," planning on flipping it for a profit after she uses her knowledge gained from watching tv to remodel it. Gretchen does not take into account that tv knowledge is not the same as practical knowledge. Other stumbling blocks, including her retired contractor father's heart attack and a know-it-all, divorced, albeit handsome, handyman, promise to make Gretchen's flip a flop. When Gretchen reluctantly admits her failings, accepts help, and turns it over to the Lord, she begins to finally see changes in her house--and in her life.
I highly recommend A Mile in my Flip Flops, another winner from MelodyCarlson.
