A furniture salesman is fed up with his job and comes home to find that his wife has been screwing her boss. Feeling destroyed, he spends a few months working with an old friend and then makes his way to the Florida Keys to try to rebuild his life. He finds a great place to start from and a wonderful woman who is as attracted as he is, but he screws that up. In a short time he gets involved with longtime residents to try to thwart some legal land grabbers and then the violence begins. It is certainly a different look at life in the keys and the bottom feeders exploiting them.

It was difficult to rate this book, because it dealt with material that didn't really apply to me or that interested me. It would if I were looking for an inspirational book written by someone about how their talent as a writer was born - or if I were an Ernest Hemingway buff, but I'm neither, which is why I gave this rating 4 stars, rather than 5. Still, it was written well, and I'll be interested in seeing other work written by Tom.
A widower with a never-ending love for his deceased wife is given a sign and packs it all up, ditches New York, and lands in a small town in New England. He knows he will never love again. Until he is able to get past his guilt, he cannot see that he has found a second true love. This novella is a sweet, sweet, from the heart love story. When you need your heart warmed, read it tonight. My thanks to the author and Goodreads for a complimentary copy.

The main character bugged me big time. I was happy with his decision in the end, but during the rest of the book I found myself more and more annoyed with him.
