The Great Pretending: An American Story

By David Uchenna

Welcome to Liberty Springs - where the flags are always flying and the secrets never sleep.

Eleanor Wren moves to this proudly conservative small town looking for a fresh start. What she finds is a community that has perfected the art of performance - a pastor funding his affairs from the church collection, a self-made businessman whose empire runs on the labor of the people he publicly rails against, a senator whose legislation targets his own son, and a teenage love affair that threatens to unravel everything.

In Liberty Springs, everyone has something to hide. The trick is making sure nobody looks.

The Great Pretending: An American Story is a biting Orwellian satire in the tradition of Animal Farm and the sprawling moral drama of Ken Follett - a novel about hypocrisy, community, and the very American art of believing what's convenient.
