No Senator’s Son

Politico Cole Gibson says of Congressman Hatling: Yes, well…I’ve heard of him. There could hardly be a more obscure member of Congress than the representative from Kentucky’s Fifth District. When his name arises as a potential presidential candidate, no one is more surprised-or horrified-than Hatling himself, for Hatling lives a secret life. With the reappearance of his old college sweetheart, a French-Palestinian woman in Beirut, he has even more to hide. And if his ideas regarding the State of Israel become known, the result will not be a simple election defeat. It will be a battle for peace or war, for life or death. No Senator’s Son is a story of families under strain, of failures and redemption in love, of our passage through history, and the passage of history through us. I’ve heard of him, Cole Gibson says. He’s about to hear a lot more.
