Summary

1. "From New Yorker writer and Thurber Prize-winning author of Truth in Advertising comes a wry yet tenderhearted father-daughter story that looks at family, marriage, and fame through the lens of a popular TV anchor's public fall from grace" --
2. Network TV anchor Ted Grayson has reported time and time on the public downfall of those at the top. He just never imagined that it would happen to him. A profanity-laced tirade is caught on camera; his reputation and career are destroyed. His years of constant travel and his big-screen persona have frayed his family relationships: Ted is estranged from his wife, Claire, and his adult daughter, Franny, a writer for a popular website. When her boss suggests Franny confront Ted in an interview, she has to decide whether to use his loss as her career gain. -- adapted from jacket
