Turning: A Novel

Can a lifetime of wrongs be made right?

By almost every measure, Joe Fredericks, a real estate developer in New York City, is at the top. Successful, wealthy, and now the biggest developer in New York, he should feel as strong and solid as a Manhattan skyscraper. But one phone call from his ex-wife and that façade shatters. His college-age son, Steven, is dying of cancer and has forbidden Joe from visiting him in his final days.

Steven’s death exposes how hollow Joe’s life really is. While trying to move forward, Joe can’t help but reflect on his past as waves of memories resurface. As he relives the pivotal moments of his life, can Joe determine what went wrong in time to save his strained relationship with his daughter and Steven’s twin, Laura? And can looking at his life in a new light help Joe find his future path in his career and in love?
