Funny, the difference a few hours can make. At 4:30 P.M., Frank Reynolds still has a sense of accomplishment and control. By five o'clock, he's lost his job of twenty-two years. By six o'clock, he's learned of his father's Alzheimer's disease. An hour-and-a-half is all it has taken to turn Frank's world upside down, thrusting him and his family onto a path none of them could ever have expected. painful implications of unemployment and his father's illness. For Pap, it means facing the heartbreaking realities of the affliction that is stealing his mind. For Frank's high-school-graduate son, it consists of finding his own path in life despite his father's disapproval. And for Frank's wife and daughter, it involves surprisingly pleasant discoveries as the family, moving to Frank's childhood town, creates a future amid the ghosts of Frank's past. Flower. For many, it is both a beginning and an end. For the Reynoldses, it is the place where God's grace will unfold, changing their understanding of what life is about--and for Frank, resurrecting faith, hope, and purpose in ways he's never dreamed.

While there are a few moments when things are a bit predictable, the plot for the most part flows nicely with a few little surprises. Despite his obvious flaws, I found myself really relating to Frank, the main character, in several ways and rooting for him the way a good story makes you want to do.
The final pages of the book are very touching and wrap up the tale with a very satisfying ending. McCusker has spun a story full of likable characters and lots of heart that will leave you with a new appreciation for life and the ones you spend it with. ( )
