There's a Somebody - A Novel (Paperback)

Jim Bass is a 22-year-old failed college student, who sees the world through the tragedy of his sister's death. It's a perspective that sets him on a journey that starts at misunderstanding and whose path is self-delusion, but whose destination might just be redemption. There's a Somebody begins as Jim, having dropped out of school days before graduation, abandons the woman he admits he loves more than anything else, and the daughter he has yet to meet. A loner by nature, Jim builds a successful business in an attempt to fill the void in his life and to have, as he puts it, "...something people can point to, a number, something no one can deny." But while he's good at racking up miles and socking away dollars, one misstep leads to another in his personal life until he's in danger of losing everyone he cares about. In an age when "growing up" is something to be avoided, Jim Bass bucks the trend. He wants the wife, the child, the stability. But as he discovers, when you don't get what you want, it's still possible to weave together a pretty good life.
