| Plot Summary of The Fixer-Uppers |
|---|
"Can a single mom find happiness on a blind date--or at least a male who can cut up his own food? Cassie and Mike believe they're "in like" not "in love", but when down-on-his-luck Mike is evicted, Cassie takes him in. Cassie's two young sons think Mike is the "dad of their dreams" and push the two hard-working souls together. Mike starts fixing everything from window screens to broken hearts. But Cassie is reluctant to let him fix hers..."
