A single father who is a new IRS agent, his cherished and imaginative little girl, a divorced woman having second thoughts about motherhood, a couple who think two ways about becoming parents, a mysterious and crooked financial wizard—these are the people from whose relationships, enterprises, gains and losses this story is woven.
Has there been a crime and, if so, can the miscreant be caught? How valid are the claims of a father and a mother? When they clash, what becomes of their child?
This was an interesting book for me. It was really short, only about 82 pages, but it didn’t seem to go anywhere quickly. It didn’t seem to actually go anywhere until the last few chapters.
A single father who is also an IRS agent takes on a large case that could incriminate a lot of people. He has to balance his work with taking care of and raising his young daughter Augustus. They were abandoned by her mother when she was very young, and it has just been the two of them for years.
When she changes her mind and decides she wants to actually be a mother, he and Augustus must figure out how to approach the situation.
Some things just don’t follow a certain game plan though.
The writing was okay at best. The story was interesting, but as I said before, it was either lacking a good flow or was just moving very slow.
For a storyline that wasn’t very sophisticated, it had a moderately sophisticated vocabulary. I couldn’t figure out what type of audience it was trying to reach.
