The books primary character is William (Will) Farrell. The book begins with eleven-year-old William lusting after his friend Nicks sister, Sylphie McMillan. A bit later, William sheds a tear as he watches his precious Sylphie drive away with a sleek dude from California. Nick and Will play football together in high school.

Lornas father doesnt care for Will, especially after Will gets drunk and rides a calf up and down both aisles of their church service. So the couple elope and birth two lovely daughters.After college, William rises to chief engineer at DataComp Inc., and Lorna rises as chief fashion designer at Fashions International. Lorna basks in in the glamor of the fashion world and local society while Will just takes pride in being a competent engineer and program manager.

Lorna hears of this passing the buck by her husband, and considering his lack of interest in rising in the world of society, she proposes that they separate as a first step to divorce and suggests that both of them feel free to date others.Finally, after Will wrestles (and deflates) the huge inflatable dragon at DataComps entrance, Court, the company owner, tells Will to vanish for an indeterminate sabbatical.
