Utopia Paradox

By L C Fathom

"We are our own worst enemy," so how can we become our greatest ally? John was raised to be an all-American man, another shining example of patriotism like his forefathers. That is, until a powerful civil rights movement changes his future and sense of self, forever. He's a young man now but more unsure than ever about his place in the world. As America is half-jokingly praised for being a "utopia", John feels like his heritage is being unjustly stripped from him. With the loss of his mother, John's grief becomes unbearable, and he suddenly finds himself in an unthinkable situation; arrested and convicted of a hate crime.

In jail, John is forced to confront his true worst enemy; himself. Through therapy, friendships, and hardships, John learns to become his own greatest ally. However, the world outside his prison refuge has been anything but quiet... Soon, America's ugly past comes knocking on his door, taking him on a ride that will have him questioning everything, but especially what it means to be a man.

Customer Reviews

Great insights.

Great view inside of the conservative mind and how learning the process of critical thinking can help in unexpected ways. Once I got into the middle of the book I was not able to put it down, to the point when I was reading on the bus and missed my stop. I did not see the ending coming but it hit me in the feels.
