Description
Determined to survive, an orphaned Esther must fight a rising new order in a broken America. This new order, the Federation of Acceptance, enforces directives that jeopardize human rights and beliefs. Esther must decide where she stands as she faces disappearing teachers, murdered classmates, and a traitorous ex-flame. Haunted by the mistakes of her parents’ past, Esther is forced to make decisions that will affect the lives of everyone around her. On the run from the Federation in an endless quest for truth, Esther must rise up to lead a resistance of people willing to lose it all for what matters most—their God, their freedom, and an everlasting hope. Advance Praise of Serpentine This alternate future history centered on Esther reflects so much of the rhetoric we hear in these hot political days, it adds a fearsome tone. It’s almost too real. Letters left by her resistance leader parents and flashbacks to her experience in the Catholic orphanage provide a running memoir for a back story. Love, betrayal, loss, young romance, and dystopian survival. What more could you ask for? Guy L. Pace author of the Spirit Missions trilogy
