This is the first Father's Day Zelda has spent without her father.  No, he hasn't died.  But in February, he upped and left his family behind and no one has heard from him since.But Zelda figures if anyone has heard from him, it would be Pops, her dad's dad.  And so she sets about getting his favorite treat, an In-n-Out Double Double, and shows up at the assisted living facility he now calls now.  Pops has not made getting along with him easy over the years, and Zelda has some stories about the man that are shocking.  But does he have a clue where her father is now?Of the three shorts stories in this e-published series to date, this is the one with the fewest characters.  Yes, some of the others are mentioned, so we get some feel for what is happening with them.  And yes, some of the bigger stories go forward in interesting ways here.This story has the usual mix of humor and tender moments, although I didn't find it quit as funny as the previous two.  Still, I got a chuckle out of the story, and the ending still got me, even though I saw it coming.Those who are following the Bowen family saga will enjoy this new tale.  You could jump in here if you are new, but I recommend starting at the beginning as a few surprises from earlier stories are mentioned, and you'll want to read them anyway after reading this one.NOTE: I was sent this story in exchange for my honest review.
