Rita Mae Brown author of Loose Lips and Rubyfruit Jungle You'll feel like a steel ball in a pinball machine, ricocheting off emotional bumpers. Quite a novel!, Stephen McCauley author of The Object of My Affection and The Man of the House Like Karl Ackerman's first novel, Dear Will is written with intelligence, humor, and compassion. He writes some of the most winningly flawed and sympathetic male characters you're likely to come across. A novel with much heart and many surprises., Elinor Lipman author of The Ladies' Man and Then She Found Me You can have your cool-guy, disaffected fiction. What I want is Karl Ackerman and Dear Will, where warmth meets wit and male tics meet a biological clock. What a smart, funny, and perfectly polished gem of a book.

Synopsis
When he finally becomes the hot shot literary agent he's always dreamed of being, life seems perfect to Will Gerard until he receives a letter from a young women who claims to be his biological daughter, sending him on a journey through his past as he reevaluates his prior relationships in search of the meaning of his life in this heart-warming romance from the author of The Patron Saint of Unmarried Women . With a couple of high-profile sales and a glowing profile in The Washington Post , forty-one-year-old Will has finally become the impressive literary agent he has always wanted to be. With his newfound success comes a flood of mail in the form of unpublishable manuscripts and query letters, but one piece of mail he receives is different from all the others. When a young girl writes Will telling him she believes he is her biological father, he is plunged into his past, starting with a childhood spent in Thailand during the Vietnam War and the girl he met while he was there, only to abandon her a few years later, who may just be the mother of Will's potential daughter. Just as he has a young women in his mailbox claiming to be his child, Will is wrapped up in another dialogue of fatherhood as the women of his dreams, Annie Leonard, whom he met six weeks prior, is childless and anxious to bear children herself. Exploring the myths and challenges of modern romance and parenthood from a middle-aged man's point of view, Dear Will is a comical, perceptive, and honest book about the families you are born into and the ones you create.
