"A gripping story that depicts a fictional, fragmented U.S. and the temptation of revolution." -Independent Book Review
In this fictional travelogue, journalist Roman Wolfe ventures into the heart of Independence, a nation formed after widespread secession movements rattled North America. Entering through a dusty border crossing in Eastern Colorado, he immediately witnesses a crippling fuel shortage and air of isolation that weighs heavily on the new republic. But another story is developing that will capture the national spotlight.
The murder of a southern Latino man, the nation's first homicide, sparks controversy when an initial report claiming the target was a U.S. fugitive is revealed to be disinformation spread by a local militia leader. Despite the victim being a longtime resident, rumors of a fugitive incursion dominate public discourse. The media amplifies this false narrative, fueling nationwide fear and distrust. Polarizing rhetoric exposes cultural resentment and an identity crisis over the ideals of secession and what it means to be Independent.
Amid the turmoil, Roman's journey turns deeply personal when he reconnects with Kat Taylor, a woman from his past. But love, like politics, is never simple. They eventually move to a remote farmhouse, which amplifies their challenges, mirroring the nation's growing discord and conflicting values.
As winter sets in, Roman documents the political rise of Albert Gonzalez, a new leader whose vision of the country is met with fierce resistance. Scattered incidents of rural crime and pervasive fear-mongering loom over both the nation and Roman's relationship with Kat. They struggle to reconcile their needs and desires with the country's inescapable austerity.
Evocative and timely, A New America is an exploration of desire, desperation, and the delicate threads that bind us together.
