In 1971, teenaged Gavin Oliver and his girlfriend visited a California abortion clinic. Thirty-six years later, as Gavin grabs the brass ring of successful businessman, the secret of that day returns. 

​

Will you like Rules for Giving? If you're a woman, there is a love interest involved--a romance. There is also the controversial issue of abortion. The story raises questions about responsibility and guilt. 

 

But Rules for Giving also appeals to the fellas, the story of a middle-aged man trying to make right with his past, and to hold on to what he has worked hard to achieve. 

​

If you loved Up in the Air by Walter Kirn, or Sideways by Rex Pickett, then Rules for Giving is your novel--the perfect read.
