The Weekend by Mike Whitehead

In this novel, a man in his late fifties revisiting his first love has a single weekend to persuade her to give their relationship a second chance.

Forty years ago, when they were both eighteen, it took Sam Roberts one summer to fall in love with Maggie McWilliams. Then it was time for college for both of them; they broke up and went their separate ways. Maggie moved on, got married, established herself in an academic career, and had twin daughters. Sam built a successful broadcasting career of his own—but he has never gotten over Maggie.

Now, at fifty-eight, Maggie is a semiretired widow, and her daughters are adults. Although Sam has never wanted to be a home-wrecker, he has kept up with Maggie’s life from a distance. He decides to pay her a visit one weekend and see whether he can convince her that they are meant to be. Sam wants to spend the rest of his life with Maggie, but there’s one problem: her life has been turned upside down, and the last thing she wants is another man.

Elizabeth Goin was a numbers person, and her numbers added up to a life well lived. Number one in school, and number one at work. She was nearly perfect on her CPA exam. Part 1, check.

Five years is all it took for her to rise to senior vice president of a prestigious accounting firm in Dallas. Yes, life was indeed good. No, life was great. Now, at the age of thirty-three, Elizabeth was wondering what life would bring next. Was there room for a family now that all her boxes were checked?

Then came a number that Elizabeth didn’t see coming—333 million. The improbable happened. Elizabeth Goin won the lottery—$333 million. Elizabeth knew the odds were astronomical, especially since this was the first time she had ever bought a lottery ticket, but something odd came over Elizabeth. Instead of being elated, she was deflated. For the first time in her life, she didn’t know what to do. Because of her newfound wealth, she thought everyone would look at her in a different way—bad different, not good different.

And on top of that, her company hired a new consultant—Maximilian Moonlight. And it looked like the new consultant had been given one assignment: to fire the senior vice president. All of a sudden, her life was out of control. Elizabeth had to take a breath and buy some time. So she decided to put the lottery ticket in her safe-deposit box and wait. Elizabeth always had a plan, but now she needed a new one. She had a few months to decide what to do about her future, but first things first. She had to find a way to deal with one Mr. Maximilian Moonlight.
