Locke and Rousseau, if in different ways and different degrees, accepted the idea of the Social Contract: Hume, more historically minded, and more conservative in his convictions, was its critic. His sceptical intellect led him to approach political theories - the theory of divine right as well as the theory of Social Contract, but more especially the latter - with a touch of acid realism, which was mingled with a half-ironical suavity. 'There is something, ' he seems to say, 'in your different theories but less, much less, than you think.
Danny and Colleen Malone, the fifth generation of the Malone family, live on an 880-acre farm and apple orchard near Rockford, Michigan. Told by Colleen, "My Brother Danny" follows the siblings and the rest of the Malone family for more than two decades, recounting their triumphs and tragedies. In October 1980, Danny is a high school senior. He is an exceptional athlete, hoping to play for a professional football team after he graduates from college. Danny has the talent and ability to make this a real possibility, but his dream ends after he suffers a serious injury playing football for Michigan State University. His life becomes an intriguing, yet tumultuous adventure after he graduates from MSU and marries the daughter of a wealthy owner of a very successful chain of stores that sell hardware, lumber, and building materials. Colleen, who is just a few days shy of her sixteenth birthday when the story begins, becomes a veterinarian and also enjoys great success as an entrepreneur. "My Brother Danny" explores the unbreakable bond of love between a brother and sister, and allows you to share in the joys, sorrows, and achievements of the Malone family.
