Book description
Meet Silver. Forty-four, divorced and living alone. His once celebrated
music career is now a faded memory and his ex-wife is about to marry
another man. The only good thing in Silver's life is his Princeton-bound
teenage daughter, Casey - and she would probably say the exact opposite
about him. So in Silver's opinion, things could be going better . . . a
lot better.
Then Casey drops a bombshell: she's pregnant. Yes, it was her first
time, and, no, she hasn't told her mom. Silver knows things have got to
change, and when he discovers he has a fatal heart condition that means
he could drop dead at any minute, he decides it's time to make a list:
1. Be a better father
2. Be a better man
3. Fall in love
4. Die
But the question is, can Silver rebuild his life, regain the respect of
his family, and be there for Casey when she needs him most, or has he
left it all too late?
Laugh-out-loud funny and tear-jerkingly sad, One Last Thing
Before I Go is a testament to Jonathan Tropper's impeccable
observation, faultless style and utterly unrivalled wit.
