Sins of our Fathers: A Novel

by Shawn Lawrence Otto Narrated by Jim Meskimen

Overview

From the screenwriter of the Oscar-nominated House of Sand and Fog comes a fierce, elegant page-turner about race, money, and the American Dream.

JW is a small-town banker; his specialty, teaching other bankers in towns near Indian reservations how to profit from casino deposits without exposing themselves to risk; his problem, he lost his son in a car accident a year ago, he's depressed, his wife is leaving him, and he can't stop gambling.

When he is caught embezzling funds to support his addiction, JW's boss offers him a choice: he can either accept responsibility and go to prison or use his talents to sabotage a competing Native American banker named Johnny Eagle. With the clock ticking, JW moves into a trailer on the reservation within sight of his prey. But as he befriends Eagle and his son, JW finds that his plan to reclaim his freedom will be more dangerous than he ever could have imagined.

Editorial Reviews

JANUARY 2015 - AudioFile

Banker JW teaches other bankers how to profit from the money made by nearby casinos owned by Native Americans. JW is a complicated man: His son died, his wife left him, and he has a problem with gambling. When JW is fired for embezzling, he’s given a chance for redemption. While JW’s story can stand on its own, Jim Meskimen’s crisp and forceful narration makes it especially engaging. His powerful voice works well for the dialogue. With emotions flying, Meskimen’s narration makes this a book listeners will be talking about long after they’re done listening. S.D. © AudioFile 2015, Portland, Maine
