Zander Bennings is a man with a troubling secret. A secret that drives him back to the early years of the twentieth century to retrace the lives of three generations of the first-born males in his family. As he does so, he begins to understand how he has become the man he is and why he's done the things he's done. Now he must discover where life goes from here. To the Fourth Generation is a tale of family ties that can never be completely severed, of a loss of innocence that can never be fully recovered, and of an intense love that can never be entirely extinguished.
