Double Entry

by Quan Williams

Dana is a single mother and hotshot accountant hired by Melvin, her ex-boyfriend, to work at a company he owns in a desperate ploy to win her and their son Roy back. She has not forgiven Melvin for walking out on her and Roy twelve years prior, and now has an opportunity to make him pay for what he did to them.

Melvin is afraid of being rejected by his son, so he introduces himself to Roy as merely a friend and mentor while he figures out the proper time to tell Roy the truth. However, Roy's bitterness and anger at being abandoned by his father discourages Melvin from doing the right thing.

Can Melvin and Dana somehow reunite their broken family before an embezzlement scheme destroys everything they have worked for?

What I liked most about this book was how the hero of the story was characterized. He is a man who made a big mistake early, but he doesn't let that stop him from doing positive things, and he also seeks for a way to atone for his mistakes and make things right. i think we can all relate to that in some way, I know I can.
I liked the tension between Melvin and his son, as he struggled to find the right time to tell him the truth amidst his son's bitterness. It was a really nice twist.
