As he races to reunite the family once lost to him, he finds his sons are now men facing trials of their own, trials that resonate with the impact of their father's decision so many years ago. His middle son, Marcus, wrestles with fears of abandonment that prevent him from committing to the woman who has turned his life around. Caleb, the youngest, is struggling to prove he's the kind of man who accepts responsiblity for the commitments he has made; he knows he must end his get-rich quick schemes and support his wife and young son. Most tellingly, eldest son Austin, dissatisfied with his life, leaves his own wife and children. Is he doomed to repeat his father's fate?

To such men this work is dedicated; and that they may profit by it, is the author's ardent wish, and probably will be while any spirit remains in him to form a wish"--Preface.
