Doug Parker is a widower at age twenty-nine, and in his
quiet suburban town, that makes him something of a celebrity
– the object of sympathy, curiosity, and, in some cases,
unbridled desire. But Doug has other things on his mind.
First there’s his sixteen-year-old stepson, Russ: a
once-sweet kid who now is getting into increasingly serious
trouble on a daily basis. Then there are Doug’s sisters: his
bossy twin, Claire, who’s just left her husband and moved in
with Doug, determined to rouse him from his grieving stupor.
And Debbie, who’s engaged to Doug’s ex-best friend and
maniacally determined to pull off the perfect wedding at any
cost. Soon Doug’s entire nuclear family is in his face. And when
he starts dipping his toes into the shark-infested waters of
the second-time-around dating scene, it isn’t long before
his new life is spinning hopelessly out of control, cutting
a harrowing and often hilarious swath of sexual missteps and
escalating chaos across the suburban landscape. Funny, sexy, and smart, How to Talk to a Widower is a novel
about finding your way, even when you have no idea where it
is you want to go.
