Chasing Freedom

By Marina Fontaine

Book Overview

***2016 Dragon Awards Nominee, Best Apocalyptic Novel***Freedom is lost, but not forgotten.

In 2040s America, civility is prized above truth, conformity above free expression, and "green" living above basic human needs. Most have given up, too busy trying to survive in a country where life is cheap and necessities are scarce. Yet even in the midst of drudgery and despair, unbroken spirits remain.

Julie is a girl who has everything, including a plan to ignite the spark of resistance.

Randy dreams of winning Julie's love and escaping the emptiness of over-regulated life.

Joseph seeks revenge on the system for a family tragedy.

Daniel is a young artist, who can't seem to stay out of trouble.

Chris is an orphan prepared to do the unthinkable to protect his younger sister.

Whether by choice or by accident, each will take a path on a collision course with the oppressive regime. Will they find the freedom they desire? Or will the cost of defiance prove too high to bear?

Marina Fontaine is an immigrant from the former Soviet Union. She uses personal experience to craft a novel that takes an intimate look at life in a totalitarian society and the role that individual choices play in advancing the cause of liberty.
