Synopsis "Mr. Wonderful"

In spite of the world's struggle and sorrow, life sometimes shows us the wonderful. Brian Fenton's life is falling apart. A professor at a failing "directional college," Brian suddenly learns he must either take early retirement or double his workload. As he confronts the embarrassment of his job going south, Brian discovers that his loopy son, Danny, is paying a surprise visit-which can only mean a hand out for money and a need to crash. To top it all off, Brian is fielding frantic calls about his aging father who's declining rapidly with dementia. Once a family doctor in Juniper, the small Texas town where Brian was raised, "Doc Fenton" is going down fast-forcefully reminding Brian of his own mortality and the painful issues separating him from his domineering father-a man his loving wife calls "Mr. Wonderful." When Brian's father passes, the gathered Fenton family partakes in a volatile small-town Texas funeral-at once hilarious and poignant-which produces startling revelations about Doc Fenton that propel Brian and the whole family into a new direction, a new path forward. In the engaging vein of Ann Patchett's Commonwealth and Jonathan Tropper's This Is Where I Leave You, Daniel Blake Smith's debut novel is at once a comic and heart-wrenching family saga. It offers a piercingly honest window into how we struggle to make sense of ourselves, our families, and our life purpose. If we're lucky, we discover Mr. Wonderful.
