In the fall of 1953, during the surface calm and prosperity of post-World War II America, the privileged West Texas Randolph family suffers a terrible blow. As a result, a disparate group of strangers become inextricably linked to the family, and to each other, for the four decades to follow. In the aftermath of their life-altering event, the deep-rooted Randolph clan is left vulnerable not only to threats from the outside, but to more sinister ones from within its own ranks.

So how do we save our democracy?

Over the years, author Steve Gottry has discovered 13 significant “you can’ts.” These 13 are deceptively simple. They are also simply deceptive. Most of us, in failing to achieve them, feel that we have been defeated by events and circumstances that we should have been able to control. But the problem has nothing to do with our inability to control things around us, and everything to do with how we deal with, and eventually accept, what we can and can’t do. This book is about living a life of contentment, by moving beyond your expectations and limitations.
