About the Book
Conner James has it all; a wonderful wife, loving children, a well-established career as a commodities trader in the heart of Boston; a solid, loving family tradition. His life could only be measured by the sentimental and humorous experiences from his youth, and his current life as a husband, father, brother, and son. There are so many seasons to remember; joyous ones; kind and giving ones that can fill a movie script and lead him into a happy life. But fate has its own terms; its own challenges, not guided or regulated by what hopes and dreams may bring about harmony into his life. Now, when his life is set, a dramatic turn of events is thrown into his world. And in these trials, how one well-kept, family secret can cause all to re-evaluate what was once thought to be ‘the perfect family.’ The times will change forever; and he, and all those around him must learn to cope in a strange new place.
