The Shortest Route

About this ebook
Thirty-three-year-old Marty turns each stop on his route into a community event. Whether it's a Sunday afternoon poker game, a Thursday coffee gathering, or weekly chats with a lonely old man, he enjoys being with people. While his boss and family question his lack of ambition, Marty enjoys zipping around Milwaukee following the special routes his mathematician girlfriend provides. He enjoys helping demonstrate the effectiveness of her algorithms and having extra time with special customers. Life is cruising along, until her route makes him late, and jeopardizes her research. When a recently divorced customer sets her sights on him, his confidence in his approach is shaken.
Should he give up trying to help others, or continue no matter how rocky the route gets?
