Anna, however, is eager for a little taste of normalcy, and she finds it with some new friends. But things get dicey when a wormhole in St. Louis brings a new visitor to our world. A terrifying creature is prowling through the city, and people are afraid to go out at night. Anna and Jack must navigate a complex web of shifting alliances between various intelligence agencies. Complicating matters are the enigmatic Administrators: unnatural beings who pose as government agents, but who secretly possess a wide array of strange powers. And one of them has decided that Anna knows too much. She soon discovers that the real danger may not be the alien, but the CIA team that is trying to capture it.

It’s a guidebook for the rocky road of single fatherhood, extending encouragement, confidence, and challenges, using specific examples from dads who’ve survived parenting and have hope to offer.
