Back Cover text
He was going to lose the house and everything in it. The rare pleasure of the bath, the copper pots hanging above the kitchen island, his family, again he would lose his family. He stood just inside the house and took stock. Everything in it had been taken for granted. How had that happened again? He had promised himself not to take anything for granted and now he couldn't recall the moment that promise had given way to the everyday.
Tim Farnsworth is a handsome, healthy man, aging with the grace of a matinee idol. His wife, Jane, still loves him, and their marriage, for all its quiet trials, is still stronger than most. Despite long hours at the office, Tim remains passionate about his work, and his partnership at a prestigious Manhattan law firm means that the work he does is important. Even as his daughter, Becka, retreats behind her guitar, her dreadlocks, and her puppy fat, Tim offers her every one of a father's honest lies about her being the most beautiful in the world.
Tim loves his wife, his family, his work, his home. He loves his kitchen. And then one day he stands up and walks out. And keeps walking.
