people in his own country safe as the evening news leads with mass shooting after mass shooting. Evan Pappas is trying to ease racial tensions, boost the economy and win an election.
But the U.S. President faces a bigger foe in this high-stakes political suspense novel: he is battling bipolar illness, a condition which could cause the world's house of cards to come tumbling down if his mental health crumbles.
Pappas has been able to hide his illness from the public through successful mayoral, gubernatorial, and presidential campaigns. And it hasn't been too difficult. He takes his meds. He meditates. He exercises. And, above all, he regularly sees his psychiatrist.
But, while successfully juggling Middle East peace negotiations, trying to push through ground-breaking gun legislation, and dealing with an increasingly charged racial climate, he forgets what has gotten him so far: to take his meds for an extended period of time.
The result: Pappas conducts an incredibly erratic press conference. The press slams him. The public wonders whether he can handle a second term. The First Lady worries about her husband, and his daughter, who has dealt successfully with her own mental health issues, is angry with a father who decides to hide his illness from an American public that might not be ready for a bipolar president.
What is a President to do? What is a father to do? What is a Vice-President to do after she is pressured to invoke the 25th Amendment and remove Evan Pappas from office?
The Bipolar President explores mental health issues, critical world and domestic issues, and-at a level all parents should understand-the importance of maintaining the respect of a daughter he loves dearly.
