We have read all of this author's books and this was one of the favorites. The father and son story is unpredictable. It is a pretty accurate description of the problems with committment that many men face about marriage and fatherhood, and how one man overcame it.

I enjoyed Farrington's Monk books. They have a gentle spirit, a bit of a warm and fuzzy get away. This book is not similar, except that Farrington's writing shows through. I don't know that I can say that I enjoyed the book, but I will remember it. I found both of the main characters, Hannah and Jeremiah, to be immature and self-centered. I kept wondering why LeeAnne stayed around and put up with the two. I don't think it is a spoiler to say that as I neared the ending, LeeAnne is mercy, even in the face of errors and self-absorption. If anything, it may add more depth to the story to see it as an allegory.
