The book arrived in a nondescript brown paper wrapper, delivered directly to his office. "A Maverick's Path: The Story of Charles Beaumont." Charles couldn't help but crack a smile. He knew he'd lived an interesting life. He just hadn't expected someone else to notice.

His heart swelled. The author had captured his spirit, his drive. He felt a sense of vindication. A quiet chuckle escaped him as he recalled a particularly embarrassing moment, described in vivid detail. He felt a warmth spreading through him.
