It's Georgie's fiftieth birthday, and she's running headfirst into a whopping mid-life crisis. Daughter of a minister and a high school principal, Georgie is a perpetual do-gooder who has spent her entire life putting others first-right down to hosting her own birthday parties. Her husband is a brainy professor who relies on Georgie to care for him while he keeps his nose in a book, and her step-daughter is a thirty-year-old realtor who still hasn't left the nest. They all live together in a house built by Georgie's father-in-law-a house known throughout the community as the ugliest, most bizarre house in town.

When Georgie learns that she has inherited a large sum of money from her late aunt, she decides enough is enough, and it's time for a renovation. There's just one problem: her husband, Angus, doesn't want to change a thing about the house his father built. He teams up with Helen-his former sister-in-law, who hates Georgie and has been plotting her downfall for years-to keep Georgie from ever living in the house of her dreams.

Funny, wry, and tender at the core, DIY Home is the story of a woman's quest for identity and freedom, and the healing and hope of a loving family.
