A troubled brother takes on his deceased twin's identity and with it finds political power, love, redemption, and blackmail.
Jack and Joe are identical twins. Only their father could tell them apart. As time passed, the twins' paths diverged, and the divergence accelerated when Jack received an academic scholarship to the prestigious Smith Academy. And when he stepped onto the Yale campus upon graduation, he was sure of his purpose. It was to improve the lives of the downtrodden and those left behind. Throughout Jack's life progression, he and Joe remained close, connected through blood and shared experience. Yet, Jack did not understand Joe's life choices.
Joe was drawn to the excitement, danger, street power, and dominance of the drug world. By the time he realized the cost in lives destroyed and the loss of self-respect that was reflected in Papa and Jack's eyes, it was too late. Joe's Miami drug deal gone wrong was the final wake-up call to the bad choices he had made. With a second chance as the all-powerful senator from Massachusetts, he was determined to make it right.
Author Bio: Vernadine Merrick is a writer and marketing manager. She has a passion for creating characters who are multidimensional and complex, yet transformative. Ms. Merrick lives in Raleigh, NC. She grew up in Cincinnati, OH, where she first fell in love with the written word.
