| Publisher Description: When Freedom Turned Green reads as a story but is realistic enough to be used as survival guide. In the world we live in now with the unstable economy the big question people are asking is, what would I do if...? When Freedom Turned Green paints a picture of one fictional, yet plausible outcome to this question. Out of the ashes of total economic and social collapse comes a new era, built on ideas and dreams of a better world, but at what point does the quest for a better tomorrow, turn into a battle of blurred moral boundaries. When Freedom Turned Green, is a story of how the road to a better future is sometimes paved atop the graves of those that can be sacrificed. The economy may be ruined but this new world still comes at a price, our freedom. The new President, Alexander Bareston Lynch convinces the people to abandon what he believes is the flawed system set up by America's founding fathers. He promises a new society where people will no longer kill the earth, or to allow religious terrorists to spread hate. It would be a world where money would no longer rule. Jane, 17, learns firsthand how fragile our lives can be, and how easily changed when the world she knows comes crashing down and the new world comes at a high cost. Jane lives in a small town of 300 people in the rugged mountains of northern California, and through her and her family's fight for survival she discovers the preciousness of love and the painful depths of loss. Through it all she learns the importance of a small but powerful thing called hope, and finds strength that can only come when there is no other choice. |
