DETAILS

Summary

Gideon Kent has lost faith in his homeland. American values have been supplanted by the accumulation of wealth and status. The country needs leadership—leadership that the Kents have inspired since Philip Kent first set foot on American soil prior to the Revolutionary War. Now, with Gideon's health failing, it falls to one of his three children to uphold the Kent legacy...Eleanor, a free-spirited actress with no interest in politics...Carter, defiant in the face of authority, yet obsessed with asserting his own...and Will, torn between a desire to help his fellow man and finding acceptance among America's elite...
