Micah Mortimer is a creature of habit. He seems content leading a steady, circumscribed life. But one day his routines are blown apart when his "woman friend" tells him she's facing eviction, and a teenager shows up at Micah's door claiming to be his son. These surprises, and the ways they throw Micah's meticulously organized life off-kilter, risk changing him forever. A novel about misperception, second chances, and the sometimes elusive power of human connection.
