One Summer
It is Christmas and Jack Armstrong is lying on his deathbed hoping to make it long enough to spend the holiday with his wife and children. The tragedy worsens when Jack’s wife is suddenly killed in a car accident. He blames himself as he watches his children dispersed to various relatives and he enters a hospice. Miraculously, he begins to fight the disease ravaging his body and, against all odds, beats it. Now he has to face life as a single father.I suppose even authors deserve a break from the tried and true. Although a heartwarming tale, I definitely prefer Mr. Baldacci’s political thrillers.
