Harry, Revised

"Meet Harry Rent. Bumbling, lovable, good-hearted, misguided, foolish. Despite his every good intention, Harry usually manages to make a mess of things, mostly because he can't quite get out of his head." "When his wife, Anna, dies unexpectedly, Harry's world is turned upside down. Numb to his own emotions, he sets out on a quest to reinvent himself, pursuing Molly, a twenty-two-year-old waitress at a local diner. Too unsure of himself to take the direct approach, he decides instead to transform the life of her beleaguered co-worker Lucille, hoping that his escalating good deeds will win him Molly's heart. But his increasingly elaborate schemes backfire in catastrophic-and often hysterical - fashion and these diversions can't entirely distract Harry from what he most dreads doing-grappling with the troubling memories of his life with Anna, and his deep remorse for things both done and not done, Harry's emotional journey takes him from his own solipsistic and outrageously misdirected fantasies to an understanding of his painful past and the tenuous beginnings of an actual personal transformation."--BOOK JACKET.Sarvas, Mark is the author of 'Harry, Revised', published 2008 under ISBN 9781596914629 and ISBN 1596914629.
