pulls himself out of the slums of the Depression to become a lawyer, and discovers beautiful, passionate Cass, a woman of the same mean streets. With her fierce intelligence as his compass, Sean knows he can make his life matter. He becomes an intelligence officer and presidential advisor through war and peace, but he begins to lose his passion for the good fight -- until the rage and confusion of the 1960s enters his family's life. Only then can Sean, Cass, and their son Richard come face-to-face with the high price to be paid for their most cherished convictions -- love of their family and their country.
From the horrors of the Chicago stockyards to the gangland corruption that pollutes the city; from the intrigue of World War II espionage to the sharply divided homefront during the Vietnam War, master storyteller James Carroll tells an American epic of conscience, ambition, and conflict.
"[Carroll] writes with sweep about faith, redemption, truth, honor....There is beauty and power in his characters and themes, and there is mystery in the big questions that inform Carroll's moral fiction." -- The Boston Globe
"As in his previous bestselling novels, James Carroll once again tackles those dangerous, wrenching issues of morality, political ethics, and family ties." -- Alice Hoffman
