From the rural life in Mississippi, a young man, Jack King, encased in his moral character and deeply committed resolve to uphold the values of integrity and uprightness finds his life intertwined in the political affairs of the country where his values and character are tested to the limit. Jack King's hardworking ethic and ambitious desire to succeed thrusts him in the center of a campaign for the White House. The ever-present thought: can a nobody become a somebody stays with him throughout his journey. From the Korean War to the racial tensions in the South, this novel captures the essence of a man's ability to stay the course.
This is a powerful and timely novel about leadership, perseverance, and the cost of ambition. Spanning small-town beginnings to the national political stage, it captures the essence of an underdog's rise and asks a timeless question: Is it possible to change the world without being changed by it?
