In his stirring, witty memoir, first-time author Roger M. Hughes chronicles the mesmerizing exploits of his family. Spanning 130 years, four generations, and four continents, Hughes invites readers into the lives of his brave and adventurous great-grandfather; his cantankerous grandfather; his decorated war-hero and spy father; and into his own life-finding his own identity in the world and becoming a successful trial lawyer.

Conveying in striking detail how each generation of his family became an integral part of the history of their time and place, each disregarding their legacy and finding their own way to pursue historical and cultural opportunities, That Which Cannot Be Denied culminates in the touching story of how Roger found his true purpose in life.
