The Good Father

I enjoyed The Good Father by Diane Chamberlain.  There are three main characters, Travis, Erin and Robin and each chapter shows the perspective of the story from one of them.  They each have their own story with two of them, Travis and Robin, connected by Travis' toddler daughter, Bella. Erin is at first not connected and has a sad recent past before she becomes involved in Travis' life.  Travis is a single father, down on his luck and trying to provide for himself and his daughter.  As a last resort he is drawn in to something he would otherwise not be involved with and that sets off a chain of events.  Robin has a "past" and is looking forward to her marriage to mayoral candidate Dale who comes from a wealthy well-known family.  She starts to question her place in that family.  The reader is led on a suspenseful ride hoping there will be a good outcome for everyone, but will that happen?  4/5
