Braver than his son with less of a future  before him,  George Watson, at seventy-two, quickly  embraces new relationships and, eventually,  a new  life. The sudden changes come as a shock to both  father and son. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Ben,  Oliver's oldest  son, rejects his father and reaches outward, under  the illusion  that he is grown-up and can make it  on his own. Melissa, the middle child, blames   Oliver for her mother's desertion. And Sam, the  \"baby,\" is too shaken to deal with  it at all.  Now the only parent, \u003ci\u003eDaddy\u003c\/i\u003e must somehow cope this, his troubled family  and  explore a world of new responsibilities, new women,  and new experiences.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Each of the three  men must start a new life: Oliver in New York and  then in Los  Angeles with his children; once he  faces the biggest change in his life; his widowed   father with the woman next door; and  seventeen-year-old Ben with his girlfriend  and baby. Nothing is  as it was before... nothing is as they once  thought it would  be. But in the end, different is  better... different is more... for each of them—and  especially for \"Daddy.\"","brand":"Dell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43365845663999,"sku":"9780440207627","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780440207627_s600x595.jpg?v=1782146084","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9780440207627","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
