“Exciting and engaging, FIRESTORM: 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.”
“Ripped from the front pages”, this new novel deals with such hot “water cooler topics” as:
- The make-up of the Supreme Court and a possible new look at Roe vs. Wade
- Ethics, bugging and the War on Terror
- Congressional bribery scandals
- The consequences of breaking campaign promises
- The sanctity of life, abortion and euthanasia
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.
Written by Tom Leach minister, pastoral counselor and school teacher he has watched families come apart when confronted with an unexpected teen pregnancy. As a quadriplegic, Tom understands the dangers of undervaluing any segment of society. Combined with a life-long fascination with, and study of the modern American Presidency, Tom uses this background to weave stories of optimism, patriotism and hope.
