Storm in a Glass of Water: a small town story

This is a contemporary novel set in a small town, a funny, heart-warming story. The small town comes alive in this amusing tale of small scale conflict.
Charlie Callahan is a retired baseball player living in Hunters Crossing, Ohio with his wife, Lorena and two boys, Rob, a college student, and Drew, a senior in high school. Charlie, a coach for the local high school football team, is quite happy with his life until things start to change; an old girlfriend comes to town, the adult daughter he’d never met wants to get to know him, and a silly argument with the Mayor’s wife after a football game turns into a more serious power play.
When what he thought to be only a minor incident threatens to turn his life upside down, Charlie is forced to change his passive attitude. When the small town is taken by storm, sides are taken. Some people who knew him for years desert him, while new friends come to support him.
In the end, as Shakespeare said, ’All’s well that ends well’.
