Ben Sherman is not your average teenager. When your father is the President of the United States, life is anything but normal. Navigating the treacherous waters of Deer Creek Academy, Ben tries to blend in, but the pressures of being First Son and the crushing grief from the loss of his mother follow him everywhere.
His carefully balanced world starts to crack when Tabitha, a fellow student, mysteriously disappears without a trace. As whispers of secrets and scandal ripple through the school, Ben finds himself inexplicably drawn to Lucas Hall, the brooding son of the Speaker of the House, whose enigmatic presence seems to be hiding more than just disdain.
As the stakes rise and hidden truths begin to surface, Ben must confront the growing darkness surrounding him.
In a world where every move is scrutinized and trust is a luxury, Ben must decide how far he's willing to go to uncover the truth and protect those he cares about. Because in the world of politics and privilege, nothing is ever what it seems.
In The United States of Ben, loyalty, power, and love collide in a story where the personal is always political.
