Unfolding against the tumultuous backdrop of history, his story becomes a fascinating mirror of the times as he becomes a legend and a symbol of all that's true in America. An audacious and unforgettable novel about identity, illusion, and the accomplishment of lifelong love, The Real McCoy is bound to become another literary sensation from Darin Strauss."--BOOK JACKET.
