The Fixer Upper

The Fixer Upper by Mary Kay Andrews
Adult New Book Display-Main Level – ANDREWS

Dempsey Killebrew had everything going for her in Washington DC. She had a great job as a lobbyist (even though she is a lawyer). Dempsey also had great friends and shared an apartment with a few of them. Her life changed in an instant when her boss is caught in a political scandal and he pointed the blame at her! This event left Dempsey broke, unemployed and homeless. It is hard to pay $2000 a month in rent when one does not have any income. Dempsey had nowhere to turn and was out of options. She decided to help out her father, who had inherited an old family place called Birdsong that is located in Guthrie, Georgia. Dempsey realizes this could be a good opportunity for her, her dad does not think it needs that much work, just some paint and a little elbow grease to get it in tip top shape to sell.

Dempsey was in for the shock of a lifetime when she actually pulled up to the old Victorian house. It is basically a dump with junk everywhere. She is also in for a surprise when she finds out that there is a squatter with an unfriendly dog living there. It turns out this squatter is a distant relative that refuses to leave, ever! Dempsey agrees to let her stay while she renovates the house.

Guthrie is a typical small town; everyone knows everyone and their business. Dempsey has met some friendly people, some she would consider friends. The one problem that does creep up is the FBI Agents that will not leave her alone. The agents are trying to get Dempsey to give up information about her ex-boss. Check out The Fixer Upper to see how Dempsey clears her name of any wrong doing, finds her identity, true love and actual belief in herself.
