Chance - Adkin, Clare E

. .

Résumé :
Some have said absence makes the heart grow fonder, but in the Dailey brothers' case, the opposite had been true. ... In many respects, they were familiar strangers.Although estranged brothers Larry and David Dailey are settled in their respective professions, their personal lives are far from stable. Since their separation following high school twenty years ago, they have seen little of each other. Time, distance, and an unwitting mother fostered misunderstandings that have grown into full-blown hostility.While attempting to live the carefree lifestyle his brother has long enjoyed, David is forced to take Larry back home and possibly become part of the family business. Serendipitously bound together as they follow Route 66 from Los Angeles to Chicago, the brothers must confront each other in order to let go of their animosity and heal the emotional wounds they've been holding on to for years.At times hilarious, at times heart-wrenching, Chance is a time-honored American story of bitter sibling rivalry, elapsed brotherly love, and the ultimate homecoming....
