Description:

Joseph Armbaugh was only 12 years old when his mother brought him and his siblings from Ireland to America to reunite with his father, who had come before them. Tragedies occurred and the reunion never happened. Suddenly Joseph was on his own and was the sole support of his young brother and sister. He worked with driven single-mindedness to provide for his family and he learned what is took to survive in his adopted land. He set goals for each person in his family and he was devastated when they had other ideas. His loveless marriage was arranged much like a business deal, and it allowed him to begin a relentless pursuit to make his son President of the United States. Although wealthy and powerful, Joseph was no match for unseen forces which pulled strings and manipulated politicians, businessmen, and countries.
