Ask Again, Yes by Mary Beth Keane is a best selling novel. People, NPR, Parade and Vogue included it on the best books of the year list. I liked it too. The story about two rookie cops in New York City. Frank Gleeson and Brian Stanhope meet at the police academy and eventually buy houses next door to each other. Their children attend the same school. Frank's daughter, Katie, and Brian's son, Peter are born six months apart and become best friends. When Peter and Katie are 14 a tragedy happens in Peter's house. Peter and his family leave immediately. I loved reading the story. Of all the characters in the book, I loved Peter's Uncle George Stanhope the most. George is flawed. He is an iron worker in New York City. He drinks too much. George loves his family and he demonstrates his love with his behavior.
