I downloaded this book for my Kindle yesterday. I caught wind of it through the author's blog and thought I'd give it a try. Once I started reading, it was very difficult to put down. This is the story of Jacob, a young man who returns to his home town of San Francisco in an attempt make his life better after leaving his wife. As he moves his belonging into his parent's home, he discovers a startling family secret that had been concealed for almost twenty-five years. From that point on, Jacob's decisions send him spiraling... to where, exactly, is difficult to say. One moment he seems to be headed toward success, and then suddenly seems to be on the path of self-destruction. I found myself simultaneously disgusted with and sympathetic toward the main character. Just when I thought I had Jacob and his story all figured out, the rug was pulled out from under me, causing me to rethink all I had presumed. The story-line, on its own, would make this a great book, but combine that with the artistry of Marggraf's written word, and a great book becomes an unforgettable one! I'm looking forward to more from this author, and wouldn't be surprised to someday see his work on a bestseller's list.
