From the back cover

Daniel works long hours to support his family, transferring $4,000 a month to his wife Lauren while she stays home with their three-year-old son, Ethan. When he brings home premium milk from the office, Lauren accuses him of keeping the best for himself and leaving her and Ethan with the cheap kind. The argument explodes, and she storms out, leaving Ethan behind.

She returns with her parents, Patricia and Gary, who blame Daniel for the fight. His own mother and father push back, pointing out how much he provides. With both families drawn in, Lauren turns on Daniel for calling his parents over, and the silent treatment begins.

At a family dinner, Lauren's brother Kyle announces his engagement and expects help paying for it. Lauren promises him a wedding everyone will remember, and on the drive home she reveals the cost: a ring and engagement package worth about $55,000, plus a starter condo near $220,000. Daniel says nothing.

Inside the book Opening excerpt

At the end of the year, I came home late from work with a few bottles of premium milk and some fruit the company had handed out.

Ethan loved it. He kept telling me how good it was.

I laughed. "Of course it's good. That's ten dollars a bottle."

My wife heard me, and her face changed in an instant.

"Oh, that's wonderful. You get ten-dollar milk at the office, and your son and I are only good enough for the cheap stuff?"

I stared at her. I hadn't even drunk any of it. I'd saved it to bring home.
