Letter after letter to President Trump, day after day, and with the weeks and months to follow over the course of an entire year, this effort represents a groundbreaking endeavor that is anchored in the belief of the American people. The author contends with often heartfelt conviction, that citizens from all walks of life and from every corner of the globe, have the capacity for forgiveness, grace, and a sense of their own history - a history juxtaposed with the politics of a nation whose interests have not always been rooted in the liberty it portends to promote. While at times a grim portrait of a year like no other, its basic premise remains the same throughout and that the founders of the United States, often flawed and imperfect, presented to its citizens a Constitution that continues to be the country's most enduring moral compass and bellwether - a bellwether into its future, a window into its past and a reminder that the present is ever fleeting.

Brad Zervas has spent nearly four decades as an educator, community activist and leader in the not-for-profit-sector. His two previous works, "They Are All Our Sons" and "A Father's Job is Never Done", have been widely used as resources and study guides helping to educate and empower boys and aspiring fathers with the tools needed to foster strong and enduring familial bonds. This most recent effort represents a departure from his previous work and promises to present his readers with a year-long journey into America's body politic - an body that is being driven by a rising tide of falsehoods, special interests and the very deconstruction of what the nation's founders once held so sacred in the promotion of democracy and the very notion of our collective free will.
