a questionable life: A Novel
"A good story; especially vibrant are tense scenes of corporate greed and deceit.​" — Publishers Weekly

Jack Oliver had it all–a wife, kids, mistress, and a cut-throat career. He was no stranger to making tough choices and sacrifices to achieve success, but when his midsized banking group is bought out by a mega-chain, the Philadelphia banker finds himself back at the bottom rung of the ladder. The stress of the merger lands him in the hospital where he soon realizes that not only does his own family hate him, but the woman he’s been seeing on the side is only interested in the zeroes at the end of his paycheck.

When Jack is approached by Benny, the old-fashioned president of a small-scale Virginia bank, Jack doubts he could ever settle for a modest career, but he’s left without any other choice. Jack has to try to reclaim what he had taken for granted and attempt to lead a new kind of questionable life.
