The Rebirth Of A Nation follows the very popular first novel in this series, For The Love Of Texas. In this latest novel, the unthinkable has just occurred. For the first time, since the Civil War, a state has voted to secede from the United States of America. Following the passing of a referendum vote for secession, Bart Lester, who previously held the office of Governor of Texas, finds himself with heavy responsibilities as the interim president of a new nation. His burdens are intensified by a bitter United States President and a cabinet that will stoop to the lowest levels to bring Texas back into the fold. A cadre of friends, including Bob Parker, the new President of the Texas Republic Society, struggle to help the new Texas President to succeed in keeping the land they love independent. Apart from, but not oblivious to the political turmoil surrounding them, families grow and flourish, as does Bob Parker's when his son's take brides and root their future families in the soil of a new nation. Filled with intrigue, murder, passion and heroism, this is a must-read for not only Texans, but everyone who has ever held the idea of freedom and independence in their hearts (and for those who just like a good story ).
