What to expect

For President Spencer Jefferson Lee— the great-great-grandson of both Jefferson Davis and Robert E. Lee— it's politics as usual. On one side, the lily-white Senate wants quid pro quo; on the other, the all-Black House has an agenda of its own. The powers-that-be agree on one thing: Utter separation between the races is the key to peace and prosperity. To love someone of the opposite race is to court disaster; to act on that love is to become officially nonexistent.

In a speculative dystopian thriller based on the premise that the South won the Civil War, President Spencer Jefferson Lee is shocked to discover that underneath the facade of civil order in his world of very separate races, there is dissent. A protest group made up of "losers" among this "ideal" society— same-sex and cross-racial lovers and their children— threatens the seeming peace and order.
