Description: "Barnaby Griswold has never been much of an athlete, or even very sportsman-like; he tends to cheat when the match is on the line. He's not much of a fighter either, more likely to throw a rock than an honest punch."--BOOK JACKET. "Then he loses everything. Not just his wife and daughters. Not just his livelihood and connections and lunches at La Cote. Barnaby, without a nickel, is banished even from his boyhood summer home, the very last roof over his head."--BOOK JACKET.

"Now, divorced, deserted, flat broke, Barnaby has to find a way to repair his life."--BOOK JACKET. "Can a fool - a clumsy, self-absorbed, insensitive, money-driven fool - become a hero, the kind of hero that makes us stand up and cheer? In a word, yes."--BOOK JACKET.
