The Old Man

About the Book

Amos Bruckford is the retired President and CEO of a large, multinational biotech firm headquartered in Seattle, Washington. He has sold his company for billions, the reward he thought for all those years away from home building an empire.

His wife divorced him; his son is estranged from him. He lives in downtown Seattle in his massive high rise condo overlooking the city on three sides, and the harbor on one side.

At age sixty-eight, he has everything he ever wanted, and more.

Or is it less? For a man who has everything, why is he so dreadfully sad and unfulfilled? What is it that money, wealth and success could not buy for him?

Then he meets the girls, first one young teen, and then another. Street girls who have heard it all in their short lives, and while they want his help, they want nothing to do with him.

Is he Grandpa Amos, or just another predator on the prowl. One girl wants to believe in him, the other is certain he’s only after one thing.

This is their story of how need and love can heal broken hearts and broken lives.

The Old Man is a story of love, patience and one man’s search to find redemption.
