The Good Father

Dr. Paul Allen is home with his family when a televised news report announces that the Democratic candidate for president has been shot at a rally, and his son Daniel is caught on video as the assassin. Daniel Allen has always been a good kid, but he is also something of a drifter.Told alternately from the point of view of the father and his son, this is an absorbing and honest novel about our capacity to provide our children with unconditional love.
