Just got back from vacation, looking over Independence Hall in Philly, Valley Forge, and Gettysburg. Really brought to mind what our forefathers suffered to bring us this nation.
I know Jefferson's Road is just fiction (thank God!), but seeing the battle field and those historic places where we struggled for freedom makes me think about the current struggle against tyranny that my book just toys around with. It's pretty scary stuff, when you come right down to it. I understand a little better (not that I didn't before) why this book is so frightening to those who read it. It's the plausibility of it all. My hope is that we can turn this country around before things ever get too far. In the meantime, JR gives a glimpse of what might happen if we don't.
