Threats of a Russian invasion of Afghanistan shattered the idyllic wedding and future dreams of a young Mustafa Rahman and Shereen Taraki. Accepting offered help, their terrifying "flight to freedom" over the infamous Khyber Pass into Pakistan quickly follows. Securing American refugee status in Karachi, the frightened, penniless immigrants are befriended and well mentored by New York based Afghans where, over the ensuing years, they will amass a personal wealth and affluence, unimagined. Combining radio and television, their first born, Shawn, achieves enviable popularity as a respected political broadcaster. His media network notoriety will serve him well as he seeks election to political office. Twins, his younger brother George enlists in the U.S. military to help fight the new war on terror. Ironically, he is sent to Afghanistan. His sister, Kristen, skilled in languages, chooses a government career in Washington DC.
Against Shereen's wishes, in retirement, with the advantage of money and connections, Mustafa honors a youthful pledge, a family promise. Unwittingly, this time, the help he seeks and gets, will guarantee 'Mission Accomplished' to a once, very meticulously planned, sinister evil plot!
Spanning almost 100 years, this epic fictional story, with factual historic events and people, woven through many headlines of the day, is as much about love and survival - business and high stakes politics - as it is, about patience and intrepid masterful forethought. THE SLEEPING PRESIDENT culminates, when the expected ultimate price of original freedom, is finally, shockingly claimed! COULD IT HAPPEN?
