Rising Shadows Above the Blemishes speaks to the potential winner that lies within all of us. The author emphasizes that success cannot be the product of wishful thinking and pretense, that we must learn to crawl on the bottom before we can rise to the top. Attitudes that are essential to achieving success are illustrated in the true story of a young man named Max who believed in himself and refused to surrender to circumstances in his efforts to overcome poverty and unfair treatment. Max, a common individual, became a gracious winner.

George Rex was born in England in 1750, and came to America in the early 1770s. He eventually settled in western Pennsylvania, where he and his wife raised 12 children. The majority of this volume concerns the descendants of those 12 children. George Rex is historically significant, as his birth may have been the product of a morganatic marriage between King George III and Hannah Lightfoot, a commoner. Originally researched and published by Leda Ferrell Rex in 1933, this volume has been rewritten and updated to the present day.
