About the book

Inheritance of Crises and Dysfunction

Inheritance of Crises and Dysfunction is a novel exploring the challenges facing a new US administration—both at home and abroad—while also delving into personal struggles like loss, moving, retirement, and the need for relevance.
The story follows Salt Pepper, a retired government and law professional, who is unexpectedly drawn into a secret diplomatic mission. As he travels from rural Virginia to the White House, London, Berlin, and Prague, the book paints a vivid picture of political division, international instability, and the demand for US leadership—all with a thought-provoking and occasionally humorous tone.
