Here and Now and Then

Parenthood. Time flies and stuff happens. That’s one summary of life. Mike Chen’s debut novel titled, Here and Now and Then, presents a typical dad, Kin Stewart, who loves his wife and tries to be a good dad to his daughter, Miranda. Unlike the typical dad, Kin leads two lives. In one, he is a time-traveling secret agent living in 2142. In another, he works in IT in San Francisco where he has been living since the 1990s when he got stranded while on assignment. After his time travel colleagues pull him out of San Francisco, he still tries to be a good parent to Miranda, while breaking all kinds of rules. This is a great book for a dad to read with a teenage daughter and have something in common to talk about. Rating: Four-star (I like it) Click here to purchase Here and Now and Then from amazon.com.
