The Big Picture
Ben Bradford has it all: a beautiful wife and two healthy sons, a big house in an affluent Connecticut suburb, partnership at a prestigious Manhattan law firm. But scratch the surface and you'll find a deeply unhappy man. Not only are Ben's dreams of life as a professional photographer slipping away, but so is his wife -- into the arms of another man, who, Ben discovers, just happens to be a photographer.
What If You Had No Choice?
When a confrontation with the lover turns ugly, a spilt second is all it takes to change Ben's life forever. Quickly realizing that there is only one way out, he sets into motion a meticulously detailed plan that ultimately lands him out West, with a shot at the proverbial second chance. But the price tag is high: Ben must give up his friends, his home, his children, his name. His life.
And just when it seems he's pulled it off, Ben Kearns there's a small hitch: Even in a small town in Montana, it's only a matter of time before your past catches up with you....
Another fantastic offering from Douglas Kennedy. At this point I feel like he can't actually write a bad book. This gripped me from the first page, the characters were truly brought to life through the way this was written and I genuinely cared about the story.

This is one of the best book I v ever read. Once again Douglas Kennedy proved that he is one of the top writer when it comes to take a character as far away as posible from the original plot. He is credible on the technique part, he gives a touch of romance which is relaxing, and always know how to crush the heroe when you wouldn t think he could go any further down. You will understand how you can die not only once but twice and still survive. I read it almost in a day as most of Kennedy s
I loved this book. I read it when it came out. A friend gave it to me in a manuscript form. It was a promotional from the publisher trying to spark interest. The manuscript came in box that simulated a film box. The writing craft is strong, the voice vivid and the story had me by the throat. Loved the ending.Highly recommend.David Putnam author of Bruno Johnson series
It was hilarious while reading this book thoroughly. I wasnt able to stop giggling when this authors sarcastic satire came out in very realistic conversations. But in the end, when I closed the book, in a fleeting moment, I realized how sad story it is...
