Buddy

McGrory has been happily single for many, many years. Well, maybe not so happily. He wishes often that he had a family. A wife. Kids. Wishes for a family a lot.

Then he meets a vet and, before he knows it, he has a family. Fabulous fiancée. A real family. With kids who worship at your feet one minute and then ignore you the next. And, unexpectedly, a rooster.

Should be required reading for all men out there who cluelessly marry into an established family.

The writing was compelling and kept me interested for the whole book.
