Oktoberfest

Genre: Contemporary Fiction

Keith Morris peaked in college. Twenty-five years later, he's determined to do it again.

He's a fifty-something lawyer, a husband, a father — and the second he rolls into Grand River for Oktoberfest weekend to visit his daughter Lilly, he's also a viral sensation. One celebrity beer-die shot, one shotgunned Twisted Tea, and Keith is the most famous dad on State Street. The students love him. The party never stops. His glory days are back.

His daughter is mortified. His wife is worried. And Keith is too busy reliving his twenties to notice what it's costing the people he came here to see.

Then one party goes too far — and Keith discovers exactly how high the price of his second adolescence has climbed, in a single terrifying moment that no shotgunned beer can take back.

A sharp, funny, gut-punch of a novel about fathers, daughters, and the things we almost lose chasing the people we used to be.
