Forty-two-year-old Darcy McCormick seems to have it all. As co-CEO of his family’s thriving oil company, he’s living the American dream—until a devastating health diagnosis upends everything just days before Christmas.
Rather than surrender to fear or chase a bucket list of trivial pursuits, Darcy turns his focus to what matters most: family. Determined to leave his children with more than wealth, he introduces them to the remarkable story of their heritage through a six-volume journal left behind by their ancestor, Calista McCormick.
As sixteen-year-old Gabe McCormick begins reading about his great-great-grandfather, Huck Elisha McCormick, history comes alive. Set against the backdrop of America's early oil boom, where men went from paupers to millionaires overnight and others went bust, Huck's extraordinary journey from humble beginnings to building a lasting oil empire is a powerful testament to grit, courage, perseverance, and unwavering faith.
