Bad Advice

by Karin Goodwin

"Judith Ealey and her older brother, David, went in different directions. The black sheep of the family, she fled West to escape the past. He, meanwhile, faithfully joined the family law firm. No matter what they tried, though, there was one thing they shared: the family heritage of philandering and bad choices.". "But then one day, two chance encounters change everything. Jogging with her dog in the Arizona desert, Judith assaults a man she mistakenly thinks is a mugger, and then invites him to move in. Meanwhile, at a theater in Boston, David falls in instant love with a mysterious woman seated beside him and decides to abandon his girlfriend and job.". "Propelled by these events, the four Ealeys - Judith, David, and their feuding father and grandfather - grapple with an assortment of difficult friends, reluctant lovers, private detectives, demanding pets, and, ultimately, each other."--BOOK JACKET.
