Product Description Hamilton is crushed by a secret so shameful that it is beyond bearing. His heir is dead; his daughter has gone insane with grief. His dear wife, Eliza, now shudders at his touch. He never intended to send his son to his death. That wasn't in his plans. And his wife may never forgive him. As Hamilton struggles to save his marriage and his family, his political opponent, Aaron Burr, threatens to topple the nation. The nation which Hamilton had risked everything to forge. Burr, impoverished and embittered by a humiliating loss, blames Hamilton. Burr will stop at nothing to regain his lost power and restore his fortunes. If he can destroy and defame Hamilton in the process, he will have his ultimate triumph. It is a time of honor, duels, political intrigues, and political violence. It is an age of men. Torn between his duty to his wife and family, and his allegiance to the country, Hamilton must make his choice. You know his name, but this is the story that you haven't heard before! If you loved the score of Hamilton, the biographies of Chernow, and the novels of Stephanie Dray - you would love Hamilton's Choice! Read it Today! Review "As a character, Burr is truly alive; readers can sense the charm that he might have exuded in real life. Eliza, Hamilton's wife, is another strong character; over the course of the book, Casey deftly examines the frustrating reality of being the spouse of a politician. The passages focusing on Hamilton ...effectively highlight how the former Treasury secretary is often torn between his love for his family and his commitment to his country. A vivid portrayal of Hamilton and those who lived in his influential sphere." - Kirkus Reviews https: //www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/jack-casey/hamiltons-choice/ About the Author JACK CASEY handled civil, criminal and constitutional matters for thirty years in his solo law practice.
