Good Man, Dalton: a sweet, fun story about finding yourself

Good Man, Dalton by Karen McQuestion is the story of self-discovery and learning that not everything you see on social media is real. Greta Hansen is off to New York City to spend the summer interning with her famous cousin’s company. Cece Vanderhaven is a social media queen who influences young girls as she dazzles on the city’s social scene. Great soon learns that her cousin’s life is a highly regulated schedule of makeup, film crews, and well-orchestrated outings. Dalton Bishop is heading to New York on a two-week experiment. He’s leaving everything behind except the clothes on his back to live on the streets as a homeless person. Soon, events begin to place Greta, Cece and Dalton a path together. Will they be able to achieve all they set out to do?

Good Man, Dalton is a sweet, fun story. Full of heart, all the characters are likable and relatable. Greta, the country mouse, off to visit her cousin, learns that Cece’s life isn’t so grand, and she is as special as the dazzling people on social media. Cece learns to stand up for herself and demand a say in her life from her rich, influential parents. And Dalton, who wants to show his father that his endeavors aren’t worthless simply because he didn’t follow the path into the family business. Each character finds the strength and courage they didn’t know they had to follow the path they needed to take. As I closed the final chapter, I had a smile on my face as a feel good, warm story would brighten any gloomy day. I highly recommend Good Man, Dalton.

 

Good Man, Dalton is available in paperback, eBook and audiobook
