Divorcing Daddy — Susan Trott

I live a life of deceit, Rome Morrison begins her story. She has dropped out of college and run away to San Francisco to be a writer and has been cut off without a penny by her adored father. That's all right. She's off for a life of artistic freedom. But she's never worked before (certainly not for a morbid playwrite)or loved (certainly not two men at once--brothers!)or shared responsibilities as a roommate (If you can't pay the rent, at least clean up the place,) or taken care of a troubled child, all while trying to prevent a murder. When she can, she calls Daddy for advice, which helps, but not enough. Under such wild and passionate circumstances, it's hard to get much writing done--and learn to live in the truth. But Rome tries. And fails. And transcends.Divorcing Daddy, an absorbing mystery of love, lust, betrayal, hilarity, and pain, will give fans of Susan Trott new cause for celebration while attracting a new band of readers to her unpredictable, joyous, and lyrical novel. Divorcing Daddy will reverberate in the hearts of everyone who has been a father or a daughter and for everyone else it will just be a novel they won't forget.
