The Inspiration

A Word From the Author

“This work of fiction postulates a frightening story of how all that we Americans cherish could be lost to a totalitarian regime. My goal is to remind us of the stark contrast between what we now have and what life under a communist collective socialist system could be. It presents a story that I hope never happens.”
– James W. Cofer
