Domestic chaos reigns. America’s depleted defenses cannot cope. A grave mistake in White House border policy stimulates civil unrest, a platform welcomed by Al Qaeda. From her bus window a 76 year-old housekeeper watches the country burn. She has seen worse. She can, and will, take care of herself in a manner nobody would expect. Her furtive past includes a secret codicil, confiscated and hidden since 1848. It may hold a solution to the riots and unrest. The Church, the Feds, and the Cartel will stop at nothing to be the first to extract the secret from her, dead or alive. When her past is exposed, the predators begin to understand why they cannot just grab the document from the aging domestic.
