Description
Delton Lowe never wanted to step foot inside a courtroom, much less try a case. But none of that mattered after his kingpin father decided the family business needed a new attorney. And unlike Delton, Larry Lowe always gets what he wants…
Delton’s courses and callous professors are nearly too much for him to bear. But with a scheming, pill-popping fellow student and a gorgeous publicist by his side, Delton wonders if he could find a way to love being a lawyer. When he witnesses a dirty deal and traces the corruption back to his father, his morals once again throw a wrench into his career path…
Son of Influence is a coming-of-age tale with a heartfelt view on finding one’s path in life. Can Delton step outside his father’s shadow and become his own man?
Advance Praise
An impressive debut that explores the true coming of age that continues beyond adolescence and into real adulthood. Well-plotted, briskly paced, moving and humorous, filled with the pitfalls and longing of things that were and things to come, without ever veering into overly sentimental territory. Reminiscent of JD Salinger, Ethan Canin and Tobias Wolff, the novel speaks to those on the verge of breaking the bonds of boyhood and learning what it actually means to self-actualize.

I could relate to Delton Lowe because one of the greatest challenges of being a child is the desire to please your parents. He just had to be a lawyer because his dad, Larry, said so and expected so of him. It had me in the first chapter, somehow struggled to keep me in the middle, right through his struggles in college, but his adventures and mishaps in college made up for the attention.
I'd say it's quite interesting and feels more like a coming of age story. Thank you NetGalley for the eARC.
