Jubal Jepson, recently retired, sets out to explore the lives and writings of three famous men who died on November 22, 1963, the same day he was born: Aldous Huxley, John F. Kennedy and C. S. Lewis. He finds himself investigating instead several of the most dramatic events in recent American history. What he learns forces him to re-evaluate much of what he'd believed about the United States and important events that occurred in it during his lifetime.Gina de Larrocha, meanwhile, actively seeking suitors worthy of her and worthy of being the father of her children, has her sights set on Jubal. Though hardly aware of it as it happens, he finds himself drawn step by step into an increasingly intimate relationship with her.All strands of this memoir come together in the final shocking pages as the transformations in Jubal's life are completed and his fate is sealed.
