A Nation Without: The History America Forgot by Mack E. Smith and Sara Freeman Smith
A Nation Without by Mack E. Smith and Sara Freeman Smith is a compelling narrative of redemption and transformation. The story follows Bobby Phillips, a self-centered CEO who, after a near-fatal car accident, is confronted by haunting visions of America’s past, present, and future.
Guided by spectral figures, including his grown son, Bobby is forced to confront the consequences of his arrogance, greed, and disregard for others’ contributions. Through these revelations, he embarks on a journey to rebuild his legacy, embracing humility, equity, and collective progress. This thought-provoking tale explores themes of accountability, the power of diversity, and the importance of recognizing the unsung heroes who shape our world.
A Nation Without is a poignant reminder that true greatness lies in unity and the acknowledgment of shared humanity.
