Don't Leave Me, French Fries

Everyone came to Watson's...The secrets of a human heart can often only be unlocked by the generations before it. In a sweeping tale of love, loss, faith and forgiveness, Don't Leave Me, French Fries, is set in Peck's Beach, New Jersey's famed Watson's Restaurant. In his debut novel, Christopher Abbott tells the coming-of-age story of Christopher Saxon (Sax), and his quest to understand the anguish and innocence of the people whose lives he becomes so intertwined with through his work at Watson's. Set in the halcyon days of the early 1960s, Don't Leave Me, French Fries reaches back to choices made during the first world war, and forward as Sax matures from a beach-loving bachelor to a father of two.
