From the Inside Flap
Step into the powerhouse life of Bull Meecham. He?s all Marine-fighter pilot, king of the clouds, and absolute ruler of his family. Lillian is his wife?beautiful, southern-bred, with a core of velvet steel. Without her cool head, her kids would be in real trouble.
Ben is the oldest, a born athlete whose best never satisfies the big man. Ben?s got to stand up, even fight back, against a father who doesn?t give in?not to his men, not to his wife, and certainly not to his son.
Bull Meecham is undoubtedly PAT CONROY?S most explosive character?
a man you should hate, but a man you will love.
From the Trade Paperback edition.
