Synopsis

Unfazed by chaos and bad luck, Melvin Scott knows, "Some things a man must do himself. No matter how dumb that man is." His wife disagrees. In debt over his head, he learns that a penny will grow to over $10,000,000 in thirty days if it doubles every day. He realizes that other things can grow that fast too. Bacteria. Disease. Cures. Almost anything. Scott finds hope and the adventures begin.

The book opens with Scott believing he has found a formula for becoming a millionaire, perhaps in less than thirty days. There is a problem. Scott lives in total chaos with his wife and young children in a house that is falling apart. This is all on top of leaving the military to start over again. What follows is a roller coaster ride of misadventures—both serious and hilarious. Scott's search for riches comes to a head when he meets a professional treasure hunter from Key West who has located one of Blackbeard's sunken ships in the marsh outside of Savannah, Georgia. Racing to join the treasure hunter, Scott stops in his tracks when he encounters the one person in the world who could keep him from finding the treasure.

This book will make you laugh, make you cry, and make you wonder where the truth ends and the fiction starts. Once you get started, you can’t put it down.

Goodreads review by Wood on December 18, 2018

Couldn't put it down. Bet you can't either. 5 Stars!! I’ve been a reader my entire life. Well, for at least the last 35-yrs. I’m pretty sure my mom told me I was reading by age 4, and I’ve always loved finding a great story to help me escape. Nothing allows the imagination to take root quite like a g......more

Goodreads review by Patricia R Lewis on February 10, 2023

I was very disappointed in this book. It took forever for it to come together. It did not suck me in at the start. Wanted to quit reading after a few chapters but kept reading thinking it might get better. Halfway through I had to force myself to keep reading. Yes there was a few funny parts but few......more

Goodreads review by Richard on March 02, 2022

Great book This book is about a family moving from the North to Savannah and buying a house on the edge of the tidal swamps. The characters are well developed and things move at a pass that we Southerners are used to. There are things in the tidal areas and ghosts of people who came before and raised......more
