Set in Philadelphia and revolving around a suspenseful legal case,
the novel Becoming His Father's Son tells the story of Alex
Hamilton's redemption. A successful, Ivy League-educated, African
American attorney, Alex feels superior to other African Americans.
In fact, he has achieved his success by winning racial
discrimination cases--using questionable tactics--for wealthy,
corporate clients. In stark contract to Alex, his physician father,
"Dr. Nate" Hamilton, has been practicing medicine in the inner city
for thirty years, often giving free treatment to patients who
cannot afford to pay. Dr. Nate, the son of a sharecropper, grew up
poor in Alabama and worked his way through college and medical
school, unlike Alex who has lived a life of privilege. Alex and
Nate haven't spoken to each other in years, a situation that
grieves Alex's mother, May Hamilton. When Dr. Nate is accused of
Medicare fraud and stands to lose everything he has worked for, he
turns to his son for help. Alex makes a critical choice to defend
his father; a decision based on love--and it irrevocably changes
his life. His law partners scheme to maneuver him out of the firm
when they learn of his father's indictment; and Alex begins to
question all his former assumptions. As they work on the defense
case, Nate reveals to Alex family secrets he had until then kept to
himself, and father and son achieve a new understanding. The story
ends with a suspenseful courtroom trial--the trial of Alex's
life--and a surprise twist at the conclusion. A collaboration of
Gregory P. Miller, a senior partner in the law firm of Miller,
Alfano and Raspanti and author Denise Dennis, Becoming His Father's
Son follows the story fromIndependence Hall to the North
Philadelphia ghetto. The novel holds the readers' interest until
the last page is turned.
