Empire Falls, by Richard Russo

Miles Roby has forgone his college education and chance to leave the old mill town to stay and work at the local greasy spoon restaurant. His daughter and ex-wife need his help surviving high school and small-town living. As he tries to make a better life for his daughter and himself, old family history revisits him and he has to struggle with the town's benefactor to make a clean break.
