This is a well-written book with a powerful story. A father is given a second chance to be a good father to his children, even though there are regrets from the past. He sees this new opportunity, reaches for it, fumbles it and then manages to recover and succeed. What a good reminder for fathers everywhere about their duty to truly love their children and be investing into their lives.
Makes me want to read another book by David Baldacci.
The following is from the book cover:
"It's almost Christmas, but there is no joy in the house of terminally ill Jack and his family. With only a short time left to live, he spends his last days preparing to say good-bye to his devoted wife, Lizzie, and their three children. Then, unthinkably, tragedy strikes again. Lizzie is killed in a car accident. With no one able to care for them, the children are separated from one another and went to live with family members around the country.
Just when all seems lost, Jack begins to recover in a miraculous turn of events. He rises from what should have been his deathbed, determined to bring his fractured family back together. Struggling to rebuild their lives after Lizzie's death, he reunites everyone at Lizzie's childhood home on the ocean front in South Carolina. And there, over one unforgettable summer, Jack begins to learn to love again, and he and his children learn how to become a family once more."
