Plot Summary of Straight to the Heart
"Eric Stewart is a self-made fellow who made his fortune in garbage disposal, he spends his free time making "art sculptures" out of rubbish while cleaning up his dismal underachieving sisters' messes and sleeping with the wrong women.

Eric's sisters (one hopelessly codependent and spineless, one who follows astrology, and another is a somewhat sane sister) get together and decide that they just cannot live one day more seeing their brother single and jolly. No, Eric must get married! Why? I don't know. Must be a Sisters of the Corn thing. And their plan is this: they will matchmake Eric to sister's Karen's long-lost-now-found-again friend Tessa McBride and to do this, they will buy Eric a membership at Synchronicity, the dating and matchmaking agency Tessa works at! They just assume that Eric will resist the gift and make a nuisance of himself with Tessa."

Tina, Resident Scholar
