Nathaniel Gorham, an original Founding Father, visits young Bryce Sherwood, a rising aide to a Washington senator and a key player in an attempt to pass an amendment that would eliminate the checks and balances built into the Constitution. When Bryce refuses to change his position, Gorham transports him into a world where the Constitution was never ratified.
In this strange world of oppression and fear, Bryce begins to learn the true meaning of the Constitution and the price of freedom. But will he be able to pay that price? Will it cost him the love of Leslie Adarns and her family? http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/625602.The_Freedom_Factor
I never realized before that the United States is a republic not a democracy. Nor did I realize the exact difference between the two. This book was so well written, that it was easy to understand the importance of both and why we need to protect the checks and balances between all aspects of our government. A must read for any student or adult to gain a greater appreciation for what the founding fathers had in mind so that we could maintain our precious freedoms.
