RUPTURED: The story of a family torn apart, unsuspected betrayal, terrorism, secession, and potential civil war as the nation is sundered.
Following the loss of a hotly contested election, Jefferson Calhoun Lee, a former U.S. senator with a questionable past establishes the Nationalist Christian Republic of America, a conglomeration of states with ties to the old Confederacy.
Janice, wife of FBI Director Steven Whitinghill, accompanies her debonaire lover James Goodwin, a close friend of Lee, to the NCRA's capitol in Montgomery, Alabama where Lee is sworn in as the all-powerful leader of the new nation.
Amid mounting chaos U.S. President Edith Barnes is encouraged to declare war as powerful members of the NCRA engage in draconian measures that spin out of control.
Janice, having severed her relationship with husband and daughter, learns of Goodwin's checkered past and attempts to survive as her world turns upside down.
"Ruptured is a fast-paced political thriller that will keep you guessing until the final page. Most of all, it will make you think. It is a wake-up call but the alarm is delivered with hope."
