Do you ever wonder why things happen to us? Max Anderson is a retired army ranger who's been a sober, single parent for the past eighteen years. Throughout his sobriety, he made a solemn promise that he would pay for his only son's college education. But his military pension alone doesn't come close to meeting this obligation. After many rejections for a job that could use his executive skills, Max must accept a sales job he otherwise would never have considered. The competitive world of recreational vehicle sales is foreign to Max as he becomes mired in a pit of vipers who are threatened by his presence. And then Lauren McGill walks into his life. But things get complicated when the wealthy ex-wife shows up after eighteen years wanting to reconnect with her son—and Max. This is a story about individuals whose lives are interlaced with Max's by the unforeseen.
