A novel about fatherhood, marriage . . . and bank robbery.
On the morning of his daughter Miranda's wedding, Paul learns that the bank he manages has been robbed--apparently by the same man who robbed it twenty-five years before. As if that weren't enough, Miranda, who is set to marry Paul's former best friend--a man twice her age--seems to have gone missing.
Struggling to reconcile his little girl with the grown woman he's about to walk down the aisle (if he can find her), to accept his onetime peer as his future son-in-law, and to comprehend the strange coincidence of being robbed by the same man two decades apart, Paul takes stock of everything leading up to this moment--as he attempts to navigate the day's many surprises while questioning the motives and choices of those around him.
