Kimo Jones has only three weeks left to complete his
sentence in a maximum security prison. Just three weeks! Then he does something
incredibly insane: he escapes from prison. The reason might be ridiculous to
any sane person, but not for Jones who can't miss playing the annual golf
tournament with his friends. During yard duty, he escapes and an encounter with
the beautiful Rachel makes his adventure an even more enjoyable one. Along the
way, they meet Frank, his friend, Frank's brother, and Frank's wife. Kimo quickly
learns that a lot of tragic things have happened in his absence. He discovers
an opportunity for redemption, but can there be anything better than a weekend
of golf?
Doing Time in California by Dwight
Jesmer is a rollicking ride, a humorous adventure with quirky characters. Kimo
has once been a catholic school teacher, one who believes that God's ways are
inscrutable. Now, he doesn't resemble anything he taught the students then.
Jesmer's debut novel is a winner and it packs a punch that will leave readers
reeling with laughter. It is hard to not fall for the hero of this tale, a man
who makes the craziest decision without thinking about the consequences. The
characters are fully drawn and the plot is cleverly written. The unusual,
improbable premise, delivers the hook for this fast-paced, enjoyable book, but
the author’s superior storytelling craft will keep anyone turning the pages. Doing Time in California is a
captivating story that is worth the buy-in.
