Insights from Nobody's Fool (Sully #1)
“Sully was a man who had lived his whole life on the edge of the abyss.”
Sully makes every wrong choice possible. He still manages to be the person everyone in town counts on.
“In North Bath, people's errors were never forgotten.”
Small towns never let you outgrow your reputation. Sully is sixty and people still treat him like a reckless kid.
Having a bad father leaves a permanent dent in your soul. Sully spends his life trying not to be Big Jim.
Rub and Sully show that loyalty doesn't need to be fancy. Sometimes it just means showing up for work every single day.
