Every young man needs a father figure in his life. Jake just lost his. Waxwood, 1898: At nineteen, Jake Alderdice loses his grandfather, the only paternal figure he ever knew. His mother expects him to take his place as the new head of the family but Jake hardly has the qualities expected of a Gilded Age patriarch. He is contemplative rather than aggressive, hesitant instead of ambitious, and artistic rather than materialistic. And now, he has no one to guide him. When the family fulfills Malcolm Alderdice's last request - to visit Waxwood, the coastal town where he wooed and won Penelope Alderdice - Jake befriends an older but illusive man prepared to teach him all he needs to know about Gilded Age manhood. But is his new mentor all he claims to be? Or is he a wolf in sheep's clothing bent on leading Jake into a diabolical version of the Gilded Age man? Will Jake discover the true meaning of Gilded Age masculinity or redefine it? Book 2 of the Waxwood Series is a touching coming-of-age story set during the unsettling years of America's late nineteenth century. Get False Fathers today and read about Jake's rocky road to maturity. ~~~ THE WAXWOOD SERIES The Specter (Waxwood Series: Book 1) Pathfinding Women (Waxwood Series: Book 3) Dandelions (Waxwood Series: Book 4)
Autorenporträt
Writing has been Tam May's voice since the age of fourteen. She writes stories set in the past featuring sassy, sensitive women characters. Tam is the author of the Adele Gossling Mysteries, which takes place in the early 20th century and features suffragist and epistolary expert Adele Gossling whose talent for solving crimes doesn't sit well with her town's conventional ideas about women. Tam also has a new series, the Grave Sisters Mysteries about three sisters who own a funeral home and help the county D.A. solve crimes in a 1920s small California town, set to release in 2025. She has also written historical fiction about women breaking loose from the social and psychological expectations of their era. Although Tam left her heart in San Francisco, she lives in the Midwest because it's cheaper. When she's not writing, she's devouring everything classic (books, films, art, music), concocting yummy plant-based dishes, and exploring her new riverside town.
