Summary
Mike Huckabee asks "Have I been taken to a different planet than the one on which I grew up?" He draws from his travels as a presidential candidate to present average, small-town people and families, and their optimistic resilience in the face of hard times. These stories, says Huckabee, "will inspire readers to think about their own values and rediscover what makes America great." At times lighthearted, at others bracingly realistic, Huckabee's brand of optimistic patriotism lends itself to discussing the reintroduction of fundamental American values, as well as a bright outlook for future generations.
