But then Jonathan discovers evidence that everything in his marriage may not be as perfect as he thought. Hurt and uncertain what to do, he knows that the only way to move forward is to go back.
On this quest for understandingβabout himself, about manhood, about marriageβJonathan decides to track down his fatherβs five ex-wives. His journey will take him from cosmopolitan cities to the mile-high mountains to a tropical islandβand ultimately back to confront the one thing Jonathan has that his father never did: home.
