A calling for Charlie Barnes

 

A calling for Charlie Barnes / Joshua Ferris, read by Nick Offerman, 342 pgs.

Charlie Barns is a flawed man.  He has been married and divorced several times.  He is looking for a way to hit the big time with an invention or service...which mostly means he has no money.  He may stretch the truth from time to time.  However, he, at his base is a good man who loves his kids.  At least this is the story we hear from his son...and who better to believe?  His son Jake adores him yet sees his flaws. When Charlie has a bad health scare, Jake is there, along with Charlie's current wife Barbara, to nurse him back to health.  Things really turn around then and Charlie builds his life back better.  Jake reports it all.  But how reliable is Jake?  His siblings have some different ideas. In the end, things take a bit of a twist.  I loved every minute of this book.  Nick Offerman does an absolutely fabulous job with the audio.
