At its quirky, serious heart, the story is about what happens to a young man who steers himself toward love, forgiveness and happiness. Or close enough.

Review Quotes

"This novel keeps alive not only the memory of my brother, but the vitality of his huge talent. I can hear his voice on every page - his quiet and sneaky wit, his wide-armed embrace of life's wobbliest characters, and his heartfelt fascination with why good people make the wildly improbable choices they do." -- Carl Hiaasen, best-selling author and brother of Float Plan's author
