Utopia Paradox (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798230274360)

A young man, John, dreams of living in the old-fashioned conservative America where all the nostalgic stories of "better days" come from. He was raised to see those stories through rose-tinted glasses, learning to resent, even hate, this new egalitarian America for its liberal ideology. To him, it's a dystopian hellscape designed to discriminate against all white, Christian, conservative men. Men like him. He struggles with seeing everything around him as an unfair scheme designed to put him down, to make him feel inferior. As John tries to find his place in the world, he feels further and further disconnected from the seemingly happy people around him, even his closest friends. After losing his mother to cancer and striking out in love, his true feelings and intentions are exposed, changing his world forever.

Now, in prison for social rehabilitation, John has a choice to make. Will he face the truth about America's graphic and cruel history, or will he continue pursuing the romanticized America from a past that never was? And, after confronting the past, can John escape from its shadow as it's pulling him in? This is a story of redemption, change, and courage from unlikely places.
