Ethan Hawley, a descendant of proud New England sea captains, works as a clerk in the grocery store owned by an Italian immigrant.

Then one day, in a moment of moral crisis, Ethan decides to take a holiday from his own scrupulous standards.

I picked the book up at an AC Moore in Vestal. I do plan to read the book. Then I will pass it on...

I decided not to read the book. I left it at Creative Stamping store in Oxford, New York.
