Duped

By: Cornell, Mark

An unlikely and heartbreaking story of struggle and enduring love between a stay-at-home father and his developmentally delayed son.

Duped follows a singer-songwriter - our nameless narrator - as he takes on the role of caregiver for his first born child Zach, who almost immediately refuses to eat or sleep. As his wife retreats into work, our narrator navigates a world of therapists and doctors, and mothers and fathers, in an attempt to not only discover the root of his son's increasing troubles, but, ultimately, the meaning of life.

Told with honesty, verve, and humor, Duped is an emotional tale of mystery, of secrets and lies, of fatherhood and family, and the tough choices we must make riding life's amazing, but perilous road. Set in a small, southern, college town, Mark Cornell's debut novel is no ordinary fictional narrative, but a multi-layered monologue, a twisting and suspenseful confessional that journeys to profound, and unexpected places.
