An elderly man is no longer able to live on his own so his younger son, Jesse, moves him in to stay with him. Jesse has a bit of a chip on his shoulder towards romantic love. It seems to him, after observing his parents staid and passionless marriage and from his own failed love affairs, that love is an illusion. It burns briefly and goes out. So Jesse treats his current girlfriend kind of cool and casual. His dad, Mickey, sees this and decides to tell Jesse about the great love of his life, a story he has never shared with anyone in the family.
This book was a good story, an uplifting story.
