What Happened to the Herd: A Kitchen Guide to the Presidency

Meet Jane McQueen, a resilient single mom who excels at juggling the many facets of her family's life. Managing the daily grind is her expertise, and she takes it all in stride. However, her life takes an unexpected turn when she receives a discarded computer with Artificial Intelligence capabilities as a Federal bequest. With her characteristic ease and efficiency, Jane swiftly trains her newfound assistant to navigate the complexities of family life.

But that's just the beginning of her extraordinary journey. When her child's social studies class nominates her as a Presidential candidate, Jane's world is turned upside down. She combines her acquired political skills with the remarkable capabilities of her AI assistant to launch an unplanned and unprecedented campaign for President. In the process, Candidate McQueen shatters the conventional wisdom that drives professional, poll-driven politicians. She demonstrates that the practical know-how and core values guiding the lives of ordinary Americans are more compelling and productive than the actions of her polished opponents.

Integrity in leadership is a binding necessity, and no one understands this better than citizens like Jane, who have earned their successes by adhering to proven principles. With nothing more than the financial backing of a bake sale and a voter base not yet old enough to vote, Candidate McQueen embarks on a remarkable journey, riding a wave of popular support deep into the heart of Presidential politics.

In "What Happened to the Herd," animated dialog and insightful asides are artfully woven together to satirize the increasingly unpopular workings of our national political system. Mark Yeager's book is a thought-provoking exploration of how everyday values have the power to restore hope to the ballot and infuse integrity back into public office. This compelling narrative challenges the status quo, leaving readers inspired to envision a brighter and more authentic future for American politics. Dive into this engrossing tale and embark on a journey to rediscover hope and integrity in the heart of American democracy.
