The Last American Martyr

Tom Soles was an unemployed doorman when he wrote a book that rocked the nation. Entitled Enough is Enough, it pointed a finger at those responsible for the unfair spread of wealth in America and beyond. Working folks adored it; the upper echelon hated it. Either way it was viewed, it quickly became a best seller and won him the Nobel Prize for Literature.



When we first meet Tom he is using an assumed name, and all the local townsfolk consider him a hermit. But after a visit from his mail carrier, Jake Snow, we begin to learn more about the man that Jake also had written off as a recluse. Jake has plenty of time and questions, and as he begins to get answers the two men quickly strike up a close friendship. Then Tom gives Jake an opportunity. He offers to let him read a memoir he's been working on. Jake accepts, and we begin a story within a story.
 
What happened between writing that blockbuster book and Tom ending up as a hermit? Jake and the reader are both in for quite a ride! Part mystery, part romance, part drama, The Last American Martyr has it all.
