J. Phillip Granby is hoping to secure
the Republican nomination for the presidency and is in Iowa preparing for the
state caucus. His car breaks down and he
is picked up by Glenn Tupper and given a ride to his destination. They become acquaintances and, eventually,
friends. Soon Granby is quoting Tupper in
his speeches and referencing his friend’s common sense and, as a result he is
gaining ground in the polls.
What happens to slow down the momentum
and threaten Tupper’s family and Granby’s future is not hard to predict but the
story is a good one, nonetheless. With
references to Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, Ottumwa, Mason City, Osceola, and even
Trenton, Missouri, at one point, this was a fun book to read.
