We first meet Ian MacDonald at age 16 as he narrates his experience with gun violence in the suburbs of Denver. Part political drama, part love story, and part action thriller, this novel follows MacDonald's journey, ending on his 85th birthday as he reflects on a life of accomplishment, love, joy, and tragedy. This tale of unlikely odds and unbridled determination is a tender story with a powerful message. It could be anyone’s saga in the age of mass shootings and senseless loss. It is also a story of love and hope, endearing readers to MacDonald’s heart-melting devotion, heart-wrenching grief, engaging sense of humor, and achievement of new beginnings in both romance and ambition. This chronicle of one man’s life and a nation’s dilemma provides inspiration for those with a desire to change our country’s gun culture in pursuit of a more perfect union.
