Firestorm: the State of the Union: Book One of the Firestorm Trilogy

Jordan Munro is a popular president who won the office by promising not to touch the abortion issue. Three years into his term, a new awareness of the realities of his responsibility to the Constitution and future generations of Americans force him to consider a bold and divisive course of action that splits his family, his administration and the nation itself into two angry, warring factions. Extremists on both sides threaten to ignite a second civil war and engulf the First Family and the entire nation in a firestorm of violence. President Munro puts his faith in two ordinary women with extraordinary gifts: Attorney General Veronica O'Brien and Kylie Krygowski, a feisty pro-life activist. Together they attempt to navigate through a maze of political manipulation, personal tragedy and the war on terror, to take the moral issue of the century before the Supreme Court of the United States. "Exciting and engaging, Firestorm: The State of the Union is a flag-waving affirmation that ordinary people can effect lasting change, and that commitment and compassion can triumph over indifference."-Doug Wead, former Special Assistant to the President in the first Bush White House and bestselling author of The Raising of the President and All the Presidents' Children.
