“This is a dynamic and richly controversial novel that deserves our close attention. Very highly recommended.” – Grady Harp,
Powerful and unapologetic exploration of one woman’s journey as democracy fails and authoritarianism takes hold
Lauren’s happy childhood on a farm in Minnesota is shattered after an assault during her teen years, and she retreats into her own world as America falls apart. Hers was the last generation to grow up before the economic collapse that followed the Corona pandemic. Amidst roiling climate chaos, the government has been taken over by extremists, incompetents, and con-men who tear the country apart while clinging to power. Lauren is swept up in the madness when she falls for the wrong man. She’s looking for love and safety, but Bryan becomes distant and abusive as he obsesses over White Sharia and deepens his ties to the racist patriot militia group. Lauren worries about the safety of her sister and nephew, who is mixed-race. Will Lauren escape from Bryan and keep her nephew safe from danger? In a world where values are tested and morality is unsettlingly murky, Lauren must break free from the constraints in her mind to protect her family.

This was powerful wakeup call to what could happen if we stay silent against authoritarianism. I loved the protagonist, Lauren. She’s vulnerable, but stronger than she realizes. Once she discovers she has a voice, she uses it and it’s amazing to watch. Highly recommend.
