The American Way

About the Book

Not handsome enough to succeed in politics, “the Coach” vows to produce three sons, the first of whom is slated to become President of the United States; the second, Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court; and the third, the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives. But even the best-laid plans can go awry, as they most certainly do in this hilarious spoof of American society, politics, and values.
