Life for Legacy

Book excerpt: Aiden Blair, an ambitious high school graduate from Boston, has his sights set on only one thing: becoming a legend in Hollywood. After toiling in the trenches of bit parts and part-time jobs, hisuncanny talent and determination take him to the top of the movie industry. Yet his rise to stardom comes with consequences. Navigating the demands of fame while maintaining his personal integrity and loyalty to his family will become the most challenging role he has yet to play.When Aiden makes a highly charged Oscar acceptance speech in which he criticizes Hollywood's insulated snobbery and urges viewers to recognize the genocide of Assyrians in the Middle East, he finds himself an outcast from the town he once ruled. Estranged from his family and fans, he hits the road and sets off across the country and across the globe. It is a journey of self-reflection, self-discovery, and self-renewal.As entertaining and moving as an Oscar-winning Hollywood drama, Life For Legacy examines the costs of human ambition and the desire for success-even when the cost is our life.
