Ledger
Tom Larson came home from Vietnam with a Combat Infantryman Badge, a Bronze Star, and a plan: work harder than anyone, ask fewer questions than everyone, and never look up. It works. Two decades later he's a vice president in Chicago, a husband, a father - and a man who has learned exactly how much he can leave out of a room without technically lying in it.
At Great Lakes Container, the numbers are good for business even when they don't quite add up. At home, Janie is the one keeping the real ledger - of absences, of excuses, of a marriage spent instead of lived in.
Some debts compound quietly for thirty years before anyone asks for payment.
THE LEDGER is a novel about what a life costs, who ends up paying for it, and what's left when the account finally comes due.
