In his book, he pays homage to his father who was the founder and director of the Peace Corps and served as Special Assistant to President Lyndon Johnson. After Sargent’s death from Alzheimer’s Disease in 2011 at the age of 95, his son was inspired to write about his father’s life. In the book, he writes about his relationship with his father and his quest to understand the principles by which his father lived his extraordinary life. He describes the secret of his father’s joy, his devotion to others, and his sense of purpose. It is an inspirational story about a son discovering his father’s legacy.
