Women's Fiction
Adam Newman once had it all. But then he lost it. Now Adam
yearns to reunite with his estranged wife, Evelyn, and
recapture the Edenic life they once had running Paradise
Dogs, the roadside hot-dog restaurant now legendary
throughout central Florida.He has a few obstacles along the
way. For starters, there’s his impending marriage to Lily.
There’s also the matter of a quarter million dollars’ worth
of diamonds that he mislaid, along with what appears to be
a shadowy conspiracy that is buying up land around the
Cross-Florida Canal (and which may or may not be a product
of Adam’s alcohol-infused imagination).Despite his own
troubles---and a brief stay in Chattahoochee---Adam looks
to mentor his son, Addison, in the ways of love. Awkward,
unsure, and employed as the world’s least accurate obituary
writer, Addison pines for a beautiful and painfully earnest
linguistic student but must compete for her attention with
his older and more sophisticated half brother from Evelyn’s
first marriage.But if anybody can set these worlds in
order, it is Adam, who has an uncanny knack for being in
the right place at the right time and allowing others to
believe he’s someone he’s not. Whether it’s delivering a
baby, rescuing a marriage, or exposing a Communist
conspiracy, our protagonist is up for the job. Paradise
Dogs, from Georgia Author of the Year Award winner Man
Martin, is a farcical tale of paradise lost, the American
Dream, and the true measures of love
