a novel

"Daniel Mayrock's life is at a crossroads. He knows the following to be true: 1. He loves his wife, Jill, more than anything. 2. He only regrets quitting his job and opening a bookshop a little (maybe more than a little). 3. Jill wants to start a family. 4. The bookshop isn't doing well. Financial crisis is imminent. Dan doesn't know how to fix it. 5. Dan hasn't told Jill about their financial trouble. 6. Then Jill gets pregnant. This is a story about the lengths one man will go to, and the risks he will take, to save his family. But Dan doesn't just want to save his failing bookstore and his family's finances. He's tired of feeling ordinary; he's sick of feeling like a failure. And he doesn't want to live in the shadow of his wife's deceased first husband. Dan wants to do something special . . . and maybe even dangerous. Dan begins to puzzle through a plan -- it helps that he's an obsessive list-maker -- but options are limited and his fears for the future keep growing . . . .His story, told in Dan's unique, hilarious, and heartfelt voice, reveals a man struggling to be a man, a man who has reached a point where he's willing to do anything for the love (and soon-to-be-new love) of his life"--, Provided by publisher
