"Grab and Egg and Shave It" is the sequel to "For the Love a Pete." Don Walker, having relocated from downtown Louisville, settles into rural Oldham County, and a new position in human resources recruiting and job placement. His relationship with Karen, a younger woman, deepens as she reveals her troubled past.
Earlier choices by his fifteen-year-old daughter Lisa result in a vicious cycle of cyber-bullying that Don tries to overcome, without the help of community or law enforcement resources, while the unexpected death of a friend under tragic consequences throws him into depression.
His dissolute sister Leslie, arrested on human trafficking charges, seeks his help in resetting her own life.
The story introduces a new character, Gerald Alexopoulos, a naturalized Greek citizen with a penchant for home-country aphorisms, and Don's new boss, who becomes an important ally in unexpected ways.
