an excellent book...I really came to love the protaganist (Miles Roby) and his daughter (Tick aka Christina) while really hating other characters (including Miles's soon-to-be ex-wife Janine)...the book is told in the present, but also includes flashbacks that help develop the stories and characters...if you've read Jodi Picoult's Nineteen Minutes, the format is very similar...the novel includes mystery, love, deception, redemption, and personal growth...I highly recommend it.
