Man of the house : a novel
(Book)

While his wife, Jo, brings home the bacon, Linc Menner holds down the fort--his gourmet cooking is sublime, his cleaning unrivaled, and his devotion to his daughter, Violet, unparalleled. But when the family relocates from upstate New York to the steamy beaches of Naples, Florida, life takes an unexpected turn. As the Menners renovate their new home, Linc's bliss turns into a war zone of contractors, dry wall dust, and chaos. And suddenly being surrounded by guys whose faces go blank as he expounds on the virutes of lump-free gravy makes Linc realize he has forgotten what it feels like to be a man.
