Imagine feeling like an outsider. Now imagine feeling like an outsider in your own family.
Lee Oliver Winekoop is born into extreme wealth, but despite his near genius IQ, he doesnʾt have the resourcefulness to realize any of its benefits. His motherʾs passive parenting style and frequent absences from their lakefront mansion leave him in the care of nannies as a child even when sheʾs home, making Lee feel unwanted and alone, and his fatherʾs inexplicable contempt toward him only makes matters worse.
When Lee is twenty-six, his motherʾs favorite uncle dies and leaves him a sizable inheritance—an inheritance with some bizarre strings attached. But as soon as he tries to start using it to mold an identity for himself, his world is turned upside-down when he learns shocking family secrets—causing him to rethink who he is and where heʾs going.
Readers will find Leeʾs reinvention of himself on his journey into manhood surprising; the roadblocks he confronts unnerving; and the cast of characters he befriends along the way both heartwarming and amusing.

How is Writing In Your Genre Different from Others?
I tend to tackle issues that other authors avoid.
What Advice Would You Give Aspiring Writers?
Do your homework before you start writing. Know what it means to give away the whole police report, use active Vs passive voice, head hop, and avoid Chekhov’s gun. It will save you time and make the writing process easier.
Author Bio:
After more than three decades of working in corporate America, Florence Osmund retired to write books. She earned her master’s degree from Lake Forest Graduate School of Management. She currently resides in Chicago where she enjoys all the things that great city has to offer and (of course) reading and writing.
I like to develop stories that involve main characters who are handicapped by difficult situations that started to develop before they were even born. This book was no exception.
