Films and romance novels have made obtaining love seem easy. But it’s not. Finding love is hard. Maintaining it is even harder. This story explores the struggles that come with finding love, and the work it takes to keep it all while balancing the demands of everyday life. The goal of the story is to show that no matter how difficult the quest for true love may be, that ultimately it IS worth it. We also explore the dynamics between finding love in an unlikely source. A friend that is more than a friend, and the risks that come with taking that chance.
Protagonist: 39 year old President Robert Searcy Junior is a calm, humorous, highly intelligent, driven, proud black man. But, he’s also a hopeless romantic. Very unlucky in matters of love. President Searcy is only the second President to enter the White House unwed (Grover Cleveland 1885) but hopes to find his FLOTUS while also doing the best job he can in the most important, criticized, public position in the world.
