Liam O'Shea thought his life was on a solid trackuntil it wasn't. A graduate student with his future carefully mapped out, his world crashes when he learns that his estranged father, Francis Henry O'Shea, has passed away. Francis, a self-made businessman, notorious philanderer, and general disaster of a parent, left behind a trail of broken promises, a forgotten family, andsurprisea small empire built on the most ethically shaky of foundations.
Liam hadn't spoken to his father in years. Their communication was limited to awkward exchanges at family events, usually while trying to ignore the steady hum of passive-aggressive energy in the room. So, when he inherits a small fortune, Liam is left to wonder: How did the man who put the sketch back in sketchy recreate himself as a successful second-act businessman and respected philanthropist? And why has he chosen Liam, a virtual strangeror worse, a hostile oneto bestow such a gift?
A year later, Liam is sleepwalking through life, untethered and adrift. Dismissed from law school and lost in a fog of self-doubt, he finds himself on a late-night flight to Europe, escaping the recent disarray of his life. An invitation to a cousin's wedding in Dublin offers him a chance to get away, but more than that, it's an opportunity to find some answers to the questions of what to do with an inheritance he doesn't understand, a father he barely knew, and a self-destructive streak he can't seem to shake.
Darkly funny and introspective, Beetlebum is a journey of self-discovery as Liam confronts the ghosts of his past and, if he doesn't blow it, maybe even discover a path toward a meaningful future. This is the first book in a three-part series called Down All the Days.
