The Final 4th of Sergeant Drummond — a serialized novel — by Jason F. Wright
Ninety-one-year-old Sergeant Ron Drummond has one final wish: to live long enough to see America’s 250th Fourth of July.
Will he make it?
When a medical crisis leaves Ron running out of time, the people around him make an impossible choice. They decide to give him the celebration anyway—weeks early, in secret, with fireworks, flags, and a town full of willing liars.
As a fractured Virginia community comes together to pull off the most daring deception they’ve ever attempted, they are forced to confront a question with no easy answer:
Is love best measured in truth—or in kindness?

What is a serialized novel?
A serialized novel is a story shared one chapter at a time over a set period, rather than released all at once as a full book. Readers follow along as new chapters appear, creating a sense of anticipation and community as the story unfolds together. It’s a storytelling tradition that dates back more than a century—many classic novels were first published this way—and it’s a fun way to experience a story in real time.
