Adler's latest novel approaches the parent-child visitation issue from a new angle: grandparents who go to court in order to claim the right to spend time with their late son's child.
Charlie's marriage had not been a happy one and, several months later, his widow, Frances, now back in the work force, is courted and won by her employer, Peter Graham.
Adler's sensitive examination of the anguish of Charlie and Molly and Frances is fiction, pathos distilled by a writer, but whatever out relationships have been, or have not been, he touches nerves and provokes emotions.
Charlie was recently nominated for an Annie Award for his work on "Cow and Chicken", but unfortunately he lost to another extraordinary voice actor, Rob Paulsen, who is best known for his portrayal of the clueless Pinky on "Pinky and the Brain".
Charlie is adding a new title to his extensive resume, voice director.
Charlie is a self-confessed computer illiterate and as such does not have e-mail.
