Eugene Duffy is turning 70, and his son Jim is turning 40. For decades, they have been running the family hardware shop and living in good-natured bachelor harmony. But as time marches on, Eugene is growing increasingly concerned about his son's future and resolves to help in the best way possible: by finding Jim a wife. The novel contains a likeable but curmudgeonly main character, wry humour, tremendous heart, and a strong sense of community.
