This novel, published in 2011, is a bit of a departure for David Baldacci. He has moved away from the thriller towards a romance with some thrills within it.The novel focuses on a man who is dying but recovers and has to take care of his three young children alone as his wife tragically dies. He inherits an old seaside house where his wife spent her childhood summers. He takes his family there and all sorts of adventures ensue.
We learn how he copes with the loss of his wife, how he gets to know his children, how he deals with his in-laws and new friends and enemies in his life. As you can imagine it is a bit of a bumpy track during the book as he deals with conflicts but everyone seems to move on nicely by the end.

Not as good as the thrillers but a reasonably good read.
7/10 for me.
