It's not every family that's brought closer together by divorce, but then again, the Fishers are anything but typical. Mel Fisher is chopping down trees, showing his daughter how to drive, and playing football with his son...and he's blind.

That makes it difficult for her actual teenage daughter, Katie, whose advice (and clothes) Joyce is always seeking. At the center of all this is Henry, the Fisher's 11-year-old son.
