The book examines American history via the lens of WASPs — "White Anglo-Saxon Protestants" — and their contributions to society by tracing the lives of 10 people "and 15 very privileged, often intermarried families," the book store said in a news release.

The event is one of nine upcoming signings scheduled at the book store, which this year marks its 35th anniversary in Palm Beach.
