A Fixer-Upper

by Stacey Robinson

In A Fixer-Upper, Stacia Rogers is a single mother seeking a fresh start in life, both spiritually and emotionally, after years of struggle. Moving into a rundown house with her young daughter, she sees the home as a symbol of new beginnings—though it needs significant repair, much like her own heart. With limited resources, she places her faith in God, trusting that He will provide the support she needs.

Just when the weight of the world feels overwhelming, Mark Halloway, a man from Stacia's past, re-enters her life. Having gone through his own trials and spiritual journey, Mark is determined to make amends for past mistakes. As they both work to fix up their homes, they realize they’re also mending the broken pieces of their hearts.

This Christian romance weaves together themes of forgiveness, faith, and second chances. As Stacia and Mark rebuild their lives and strengthen their relationship with God, they discover that the greatest renovations happen in the heart.
