The Expatriate: a Novel James Lockhart Perry

Mac Macleod always assumed that the grandiose plans he fulfilled would define his life, that he would live on past his time in the international company and factories he built, the workers he employed, and the generations he educated. All that wonderful-sounding, Big Picture stuff of a hard-working, self-made man's dreams. But now he's not so sure. And all it takes to turn his world upside down is a European divorce and a kidnapped 15-year-old daughter with a ridiculous ransom of just $200. By the time Mac chases down his children, Sandy, Joe, and Darcy, in Bruxelles, Paris, New York, and finally in a small Ohio town, he finds winning and losing hopelessly confused with each other in the non-stop battle of parenthood.
