Rescuing Martin Hanley (Paperback)

Paperback. RESCUING MARTIN HANLEY is a story about a retired Chicago fireman with five children who usually detest him and a resentful wife who feels her life would be better without him. She wants to kill him, ferociously spends money on home goods, and takes on a lover.and happily tells him all about it. While he was always a hero on the job, he never was a hero in the eyes of his own family. But he's a dying man now and he knows it. He finds an unbiased woman who would like to help him, which he doesn't believe is possible. But when he begins to trust her enough to have full conversations with her, she mistakenly allows herself to trust him in return. The tale appears to be a slice-of-life and the drive of Martin Hanley's obstacles beginning in 1973 and through the present day. Filled with tender accounts of one man's efforts to reconcile his own bond with the people he loves; this family saga is driven by a dark tragic family secret none of them are willing to expose. Until they have to. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.…
