Potomac R. Marion Troy

Potomac is a novel of how America has lived with a history that was founded onblood, deception, courage, and pride. It is also the story of the nation'sfirst African American family to occupy the White House and whose love for eachother and for those things all Americans hold most sacred - children, land,honor, and trust are left swaying in the balance of hatred, deceit and blindingambition. The characters in Potomacare faced with theimpossible task of renegotiating terms and conditions left unfinished for morethan 500 years - but to fail at this task means more than just the tragic deathof an American dream - as the losses are more than philosophical - they areonly too human. As the book races to its conclusion, you may ask whether or notit is important for 'good' to triumph over 'evil' as muchas it may be necessary to define those terms within the American context of howwe independently pursue 'life, liberty, and happiness.'
