“I never knew my father.” So declares Martin Green as he begins the story of his life. Gifted with an extraordinary intellect, and inspired by a mother who leaves him orphaned while still a child, he is determined to acquire an education and rise above the shame of his illegitimate birth. Along a journey that takes him from a small town in Ohio to the halls of Harvard University, from impoverished farm boy to respected teacher, he discovers friendship, ambition, love and betrayal. And when a tragedy threatens to destroy him, he finally learns who his father truly is.
