The Beautiful Game (Hardcover)

Michael Johnson has it all: a wonderful marriage, a rewarding career, and a cool truck. At his daughter's soccer game his wife Jennifer has something else for him-a divorce. He has until the end of the second half to convince her otherwise. But when Jennifer leaves the game with a mysterious stranger, he suspects there might be more to her threat than his improper loading of the dishwasher. Michael finds he must turn words into action. His journey takes him from the soccer field in Kansas to the beaches of the Caribbean; from the counter-culture of the sexual revolution to the meaning of modern love in post-9/11, middle America. When the secret to Jennifer's motivation is discovered, Michael is forced to make a choice that will redefine the classic vow: "Until death do us part."
