Oliver Watson's world suddenly dissolves around him when Sarah his wife of eighteen years, returns to Harvard to get her master's degree. Oliver is left on his own, with three children and a freedom he never wanted and doesn't completely understand. His family's needs and demands suddenly consume his life.
When Oliver's mother is diagnosed as having Alzheimer's disease and dies soon thereafter, Oliver's father's life is changed as well. Braver than his son with less of a future before him, George Watson, at seventy-two, quickly embraces new relationships and, eventually, a new life. The sudden changes come as a shock to both father and son.
Ben, Oliver's oldest son, rejects his father and reaches outward, under the illusion that he is grown-up and can make it on his own. Melissa, the middle child, blames Oliver for her mother's desertion. And Sam, the "baby," is too shaken to deal with it at all. Now the only parent, Daddy must somehow cope this, his troubled family and explore a world of new responsibilities, new women, and new experiences.
Each of the three men must start a new life: Oliver in New York and then in Los Angeles with his children; once he faces the biggest change in his life; his widowed father with the woman next door; and seventeen-year-old Ben with his girlfriend and baby. Nothing is as it was before... nothing is as they once thought it would be. But in the end, different is better... different is more... for each of them -- and especially for "Daddy".

读到最后都没耐心了. 前半部很不错. 为什么把Oliver描述成了一个完美的人? 有担当, 有能力, 还要么就是和明星的女儿艳遇, 要么就干脆和大明星结婚. 而且大明星也完全不介意他的三个小孩儿, 没有现实里的过渡期. 到最后感觉太虚假了. nonsense.
评分oliver是个lucky man。。普遍觉得这个结局有点那么过于理想化。
评分大学阅读课读的，家庭伦理剧。
评分没想到这里竟然有这本。也是大学的泛读教材，虽然至今没想通这是怎么被学校入选的。呵呵，文字比较浅显，内容么。。爱情+亲情。。还有的么，只有看了才知道啦。
评分in order to get what he wants,everyone in the world ,without exception ,has to give up sth for exchange...
