When Governor Abernathy of Georgia wants to appoint a new commissioner to oversee his state's welfare department, he turns to his old friend, Judge John Heyburn. Heyburn is a man of principle and integrity, but he's also been out of public life for years. The job requires Senate confirmation, and Abernathy isn't sure he can get Heyburn through the process.

But Heyburn has a plan. He'll travel the state, meeting with the people who rely on the welfare department to get by. He'll get to know their stories and their needs. And he'll make a case for why a new commissioner is needed.

With the help of his wife, Hattie, and his young son, Abernathy sets out on a cross-country journey that will change his life and the lives of those he meets. Along the way, he comes to understand the complexities of American politics and the ways in which they can impact the lives of ordinary people; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 304 pages.
