At twelve, David F. Hyatt learned that the father he had believed dead for a decade had only just died. The revelation shattered the family story he had grown up believing-and left him with a mystery that would follow him for decades: Who was his father, and why did his mother say he was dead?

That discovery awakened in him an instinct to question the stories he was told-and a determination to find his own voice. A year later, he fashioned a microphone from a piece of paper and began hosting imaginary radio shows from his family's garage in Virginia. That paper microphone set him on an unlikely path that would carry him from small-time radio stations to the White House and eventually around the world as a foreign correspondent.
