Original book summary overview 

It’s 2011, and Samuel Andresen-Anderson - an embittered professor at a small Chicago university - is battling dragons on his computer screen and unrequited love in his heart. He has not seen his mother since she abandoned her family 23 years ago, and now she is all over the news after committing a peculiar political crime. She has been his Nix all these years, but he must save her from a begrudged judge and, in the process, save himself from a lawsuit that threatens to take away everything he has.  

Please note: This analysis is meant as a supplement to, and not a replacement for, The Nix.

(Disclaimer: This is NOT the original book. If you’re looking for the original book, it is available from Amazon and Audible.)
