Beyond the Wall

In a fractured America, where seven Southern states now stand behind a towering three-story wall, Seth Blakeley embarks on a dangerous mission into the heart of the Conservative Federation. Armed with a fragile seven-day visa and orders from OnaCona, his covert intelligence agency, Seth's journey from St. Louis to Montgomery, Alabama, is more than a family reunion-it's a high-stakes operation of espionage and rescue. His mission: to convince his brother, Tommy Lee, to escape the oppressive regime and return to the United States.

As Seth navigates the tense, surveillance-heavy streets of the former city of Montgomery, he confronts old friends who scoff at his progressive ideals, exposing the deep cultural and ideological chasms between Federation and the USA. All the while, Federation intelligence agents close in, their suspicions of Seth's true motives growing more dangerous by the hour.

Back in the Twin Cities of Minnesota, Seth's family waits in agonizing uncertainty. His parents wrestle with fear and hope, while his sister, grounded in her profound belief in our essential nature as pure Awareness, strives to hold the family together. To her, our existence transcends politics and borders-it's a call to recognize the shared humanity beyond the illusions of division. Meanwhile, down the street from her parents, retired Marine Col. Oscar MacKenzie watches events unfold with a grim understanding of the stakes-his knowledge of Seth's mission and its potential fallout could prove pivotal.

In a world where loyalties are tested and divides deepen, Seth must balance courage and cunning as he confronts the ultimate question: can he bring his brother home, or will his efforts shatter what's left of their family and his lifelong friendships? A gripping tale of resilience and redemption, this novel explores the fragile threads holding a divided family together-and what happens when they begin to unravel. Beyond the Wall will leave you, the reader, with questions we all wrestle with in these changing times.
