Gretchen's Tragedy & Recovery — Mark Hanson

Dan Foster had never been married, never had kids. He lived alone, enjoying his retirement. He was the last guy on earth to become a dad. But in Stanton, Washington there was a very determined teenage girl who would drastically change his life.

The trilogy starts when Gretchen, a high school volleyball player, faces an enormous personal tragedy. She has nowhere to turn except to Foster, her team's number one fan. She clings to him, filling him with doubts and fears because he was in very unfamiliar territory.

Eventually the teen and the perennial bachelor come to an understanding when she asks him to be her new dad. He reluctantly agrees and issues some rules, "We each do our own laundry. I'm not gonna touch your underwear, and I don't want you touching mine!"

Foster, a dad? Look out, Stanton - the craziness has just begun because Gretchen's two best friends invade Dan's life and home. Some weird moments, misunderstandings, and surprises occur; but they're always surrounded by lots of wild and crazy fun.

Three daughters changed Dan Foster forever. His lack of experience was his best qualification. Join the fun as the girls learn all about dads and, in the process, discover that he was perfect just the way he was.
