My Father's Wives

From the New York Times bestselling author of All You Could Ask For and the co-host of ESPN's "Mike and Mike in the Morning" comes a novel about a man on a search for the meaning of marriage. Jonathan Sweetwater has the perfect life: great job, big house, wonderful children, and - most important - an incredible wife. Claire is all you could ask for in a woman: smart, gorgeous, classy. What Jonathan hasn't had, since his ninth birthday party, is a father. Percival Sweetwater III was legendary in every way: five-term US senator, five times married after Jonathan's mother. Beloved by presidents and women alike, the one person it seems who didn't love or know him was his own son. Jonathan hasn't thought about his father in years. But when he comes home early one day to evidence that his perfect marriage may not be as perfect as he thinks it is, he finds himself wondering if in order to move forward he must first travel back. On a quest for understanding - and the meaning of manhood and marriage - Jonathan tracks down each of his father's ex-wives. Through his interactions with these five women, Jonathan uncovers startling truths about the man who made him. But more important are the truths he discovers about himself...
