John R Naugle asked McCracken Poston Jr.:

McP, when I first saw your book's title, that 'Z' word made me think of the Zodiac. To represent him with a heart of compassion -- even while he faced the slings and arrows of character assassination, plus 'guilty' before proven innocent -- took great courage. CS Lewis stated, "Courage is not simply one of the virtues. Courage is the form of every virtue at its testing point." WHO inspires you & gives you courage?

McCracken Poston Jr. I was not always patient with Alvin. For several months, I was extremely frustrated. There was a moment that I felt challenged by former political opponent who I thought was being harsh to Alvin. So, maybe not courage as much as spite!
