The Handyman

Carolyn See

first published 1999 Ballantine Books, 2000 paperback 272 pages

A struggling young artist goes to work as a handyman, only to see himself called to fix relationships- -lonely grandmothers, love-starved wives, aids victims-- all unhappy, all in need of an ear or physical contact. To cheer them up. Robert Hampton, 28, of California paints pictures for them and in the process achieves the fame he sought. By the author of Making History.
