Prime Time

Lennox Tillman spent nine seasons as America's favorite TV dad — patient, warm, endlessly wise. Off-screen, he was none of those things. Now fifty-five, broke, and desperate, he signs on to a reality show that promises to reunite him with the adult children he neglected. But cameras can't manufacture forgiveness, and his kids aren't interested in a scripted redemption arc. Somewhere between catastrophic reunion dinners and parking lot vigils, Lennox discovers that the only performance worth giving might be the truth.
