Fiction
The co-host of ESPNβs Mike and Mike follows up his New York Times bestseller All You Could Ask For with this poignant story of one manβs search to understand himself, his marriage, and his father. Jonathan Sweetwater has been blessed with money, a fulfilling career, great kids and Claire, his smart, gorgeous, sophisticated wife. But there is one thing Jonathan never had: a relationship with his father. Percival Sweetwater III has been absent from his sonβs life since Jonathan was nine years old. A five-term U.S. senator, now dead, Percy was beloved by presidents, his constituents, and women alike, especially the five women who married him after Jonathanβs mother. Jonathan hasnβt thought about Percy or the hole he left in his life for years. Dedicated to Claire and his family, heβs nothing like his serial monogamist father. But then Jonathan discovers evidence that everything in his marriage may not be as perfect as he thought. Hurt and uncertain what to do, he knows that the only way to move forward is to go back. On this quest for understandingβabout himself, about manhood, about marriageβJonathan decides to track down his fatherβs five ex-wives. His journey will take him from cosmopolitan cities to the mile-high mountains to a tropical islandβand ultimately back to confront the one thing Jonathan has that his father never did: home.
