In a nutshell:
Bryce Sherwood is a senator’s aide and a key player in getting a new bill passed that will eliminate the checks and balances built in the Constitution. Bryce refuses to change his view on the bill for the girl he loves or even for the spirit of an original Founding Father, until he is thrown into what the country would be like if the Constitution had never been ratified.  


What you may enjoy:
This is a fiction with underlying Christian themes. This book has a little bit of everything: love, action, intrigue, adventure, history, alternate reality. It’s a casual, feel good type of read. The story makes a statement without getting political.

What you may NOT enjoy:
The book is predictable as are the characters. Everything is a little outdated (the computer technology and many uses of pay phones.)  It takes a while to get into the plot of the book, focusing at first primarily on the main character’s love interest.
