About this title

Synopsis

Thomas Bond of Middletown, Ohio, has built a cros-country empire of mostly African American truck drivers who roam the nation's heartland selling off the failed products of its commerce. Aging and ailing, Bond wants to see his life's work continue, but his children are uninterested and force him into desperate measures and unexpected revelations about the family's past. When its attempts to find a succesor fail, Bond imagines a project that sets off further family conflict and surprising recognitions.
