The story of one idealistic young man’s attempts to resolve the immigration issues at the US/Mexico border – and avert war. 17-year old Curtis Moultrie of Sugarfield, Texas never felt totally comfortable with the cultural traditions he grew up with. He was the independent one in his family of five and liked to hear both sides of all stories. These feelings intensify when he enrolls at a university in the north and meets other like-minded journalism students, including a young woman whose enthusiasm for traditional American values - and attraction to Curtis – run deep. Hostilities break out back home after Texas enacts harsher new anti-abortion and immigration laws. Curtis finds himself conflicted as he returns home and tries to support his family while attempting to defuse the confrontations at the Mexican border with the help of his new college friends. They are not welcomed with open arms, and war is imminent as journalist-to-be Curtis begins a last-minute investigation into the chain of events that led to this catastrophic showdown. Other books by Kenneth Konecnik include: Democracy Reborn - Overcoming the Politics of Fear and Divisiveness in America; and Inhabit the Night - a Novel of Human Resiliency.
