About this ebook
Twenty-five-year-old Dale Barnhart moved to Philly to find himself after he graduated from college at the University of Missouri. Originally he planned to complete his Masters there, but discovers he is burned out on school and withdraws to find gainful employment. He feels independent and successful in his banking job and in the friendships he has developed. Then, after three years, his job goes sour, and his girlfriend chooses nursing school over him.
Tragedy strikes in his hometown in Missouri, and Dale must attend the funeral of his best friend from high school who has left behind a young widow and son. On the flight, his seatmate engages him in conversation, and he learns of a good job opportunity he might qualify for, one that would be an hour from his hometown. Connecting with family and friends from childhood at the funeral influences his decision to pursue the job, and to make the move to be closer to his family. Within a short time, he finds himself back in Missouri to stay.
The job he accepted as lead man in the mortgage and development firm takes a twist when his boss brings a family member into the company, which significantly changes Dale's duties and potential for advancement.
In addition to Dale's uncomfortable situation at work, an unexpected rivalry with his younger brother arises over the woman he cares about and hopes to marry. While Dale struggles to find a personally satisfying solution for himself and still hold the family together, he finds a connection from Philly may hold the key to what he should have been reaching for all along.
