Secular City Limits

by Matthew Barron

A single mother takes her precocious twelve year old and a teenage friend across a near future America where there is no more separation between Church and State All Helena really wants is a better life for her twelve year old son, Luke. To do that she needs to get him into a good school, which isn't easy to do when you are a single mother and a Catholic in a near future United States where there is no more separation between Church and State. States, even neighborhoods are divided based on religion, and Helena faces discrimination everywhere she goes. Adam, a longtime teenage friend, convinces Helena to leave everything behind and take him and her son across the new American landscape to New Secular City, where they hope to find good schools, good jobs, and tolerance. After facing many obstacles they will finally reach their destination, but it may not be what any of them expected.

I was not expecting to much...sorry. But I can honestly say I was pleasantly surprised. It did not take long for me to see how the story progressed, it took twist & turns I did not expect. With an ending that with out doubt left me wide mouthed.
It is not a book for everyone as anything that seems to have religion or politics involved.
