Seven Days in Carrington: If Statues Could Speak

By Rebecca Templeman

Book Overview

The 12th Instant - the day culture war descends on Carrington, storming Anne Carter Thomas' perfect world. When granddaughter, Maddie Spencer enrolls at Hamilton University, this promising scholar joins the protest to dismantle symbols of Civil War heroes. She is tapped to lead the busloads of millennials entering the Quad, as intolerant counter-protesters stage a violent counter-attack. The events that day are all caught on surveillance cameras and mobile phones, as the annual Convocation is ambushed in the crossfire to rewrite history. Fueled and financed by the 88-year-old billionaire Goergen Schwartz, he will stop at nothing to enact his socialist agenda on the USA, overturning the rule of law as civil unrest clashes in the least likely of places. It's a new style of warfare that forces five generations of Americans to take a side in the senseless anarchy. Always and forever, Anne's family and friends stand ready to defend their provincial traditions against political correctness. In the backstories, at kitchen tables, and broken families responding to disasters, Carrington rises with what it knows best: compassion and love. Unfolding in a fast-paced 'real-time narrative, ' the toppled statues whisper of a nation on the brink of a civil war again. But not before the American Dream may become the next casualty.
