Brief Details about the Novel
Young adult readers and beyond will find themselves intrigued by this book which depicts a male protagonist's bout with locating his father and, along the way, handling the difficulties that life throws his way. Bothered by not knowing his father, thirty-eight-year old Pete Mitchell is prompted to start a search after watching a television show about single parents and developing a belief that a father must take care of the child he helps bring into the world. His search, however, would be easier if the family members who know the whereabouts of his
father would help.
After Pete finally finds his father, another set of problems commence and
are centered around the sharing of his father’s possessions with
his father’s two other children. There are also disagreements about the

charge.
Ultimately, after he attends court and gets out of jail, Pete encounters more problems trying to get the house his father wants him to have.
