***I received a free audio version in exchange for my honest oppinion***Summary: This is a series of short, nonfiction stories where the author walks us through various aspects of her life. It opens with the title story about her father's many endeavors to "fix" things around the house and the one major event that cured him of that penchant.There's a story about her work as a collection agent, some recollections about working at McDonalds, and an amusing tale about trying to simultaneously please various friends' palates and abide by the constraints of their allergies.Like boxes of assorted chocolates, books like this have a random, never know what you'll get, sort of feel to them. The writing style's nice. The stories are real enough for most people to relate to. A quick, easy to enjoy non-fiction story.Conclusion: If you enjoy learning about "normal" people's lives, this is a nice treat for you.
