A provocative political thriller that takes readers behind the scenes of major turning points in America’s history, True Colors is a novel inspired by actual people and events. Against a backdrop of local Illinois politics and movements on the national level, it traces the mysterious and meteoric rise of the first nonwhite American president. Thomas Oglala, who is half-Caucasian and half–Native American, has a background toiling in Wyoming gold mines, but he quickly works his way into the highest political circles in Chicago. With the help of mysterious meetings and secret deals, he rises through the ranks faster than many seasoned politicians. Beginning his career in the Illinois Senate and then progressing to the US Senate, this tenacious politician beats the odds to become leader of the free world in thirteen short years.
Written by a Chicagoan with inside knowledge about the backroom negotiations that helped put Barack Obama in the White House, True Colors combines political intrigue with a fascinating look at the historic moments that have led us to our current political climate. By the end, it will have you guessing at what is truly fiction and what is unbelievably real.
