A heart-warming, romantic tale of redemption, involves art, politics, horse races, veterans’ issues, and questions of how to hold on to our values in an increasingly uncouth world. When Iraq War veteran David Madison rescues a destitute, young woman at the Vietnam War Memorial, his act of kindness sends him on a different tour of duty than he is used to. His journey takes him to the art galleries of New York, the horse farms and polo fields of Virginia, the coastal cities and upstate communities of Connecticut, and the corridors of power in Congress in Washington, D.C. Determined to follow through on his promises and obligations, David is torn between the attractive daughters of two powerful U.S. senators, battles his Yale College nemesis in a blistering election campaign, and faces the revelation of secrets that threaten to destroy everything he holds dear. In the tradition of Nicholas Sparks’ and Ian McEwen’s novels, offers a unique perspective on our current social and political struggles while affirming what is best in all of us.
