Hold on tight
(Book)

Includes reader questions.

Jackson Koch lost his wife to cancer, and lost his job when the town's coal mines shut down. Moving across the country, he finds a new life in Bridgeport, Ohio, where he tends bar by night and navigates life as a single dad by day to his three-year-old daughter by day. Dani Brown also knows what it's like to lose a spouse and raise a child on her own. Cleaning houses during the day, and taking online classes at night, she dreams of running her own preschool someday. She babysits for Jackson's daughter; the babysitting money goes toward her son Jeremy's baseball team, but it's still tight. The Bridgeport Social Club plans a charity poker tournament to support Jeremy's dream and help out a hardworking single mom. But will Dani be able to accept what she sees as charity? -- adapted from back cover
