Book excerpt: "Jacob. Would you be a dear and run out and bring your pregnant wife some chocolate cake? Pretty please?" Jake's wife Rachel is "in a family way" with their first child and Jake isn't quite sure what to make of the increasing demands it places on him. "Chocolate cake in the middle of the night? Really?" Despite the excitement of welcoming a newborn and the first grandchild in the family, Jake is still figuring out his own lot in life. Would he be a good provider, a good disciplinarian, a good role model, a good dad? Living life in his head is both a blessing and a curse. Only by tapping into the legacy and lunacy of his family will he come to terms with his new role.
