Memoirs of a Domestic Terrorist

Adam Johnston, descended from one of the Confederation's founding fathers, has lived a life of privilege and ignorance. When his father is arrested for treason and later found dead in his cell, Adam's protected life shatters. Fleeing house arrest with the mysterious Chester Locke, Adam journeys into the war-torn Nativelands where he witnesses firsthand the atrocities committed by his government—the same government his ancestor helped establish.

In this powerful examination of radicalization, Adam transforms from a sheltered elite to a man on the run, gradually embracing increasingly extreme measures to fight against the system he once trusted. As he falls in love with Selena, a Native woman whose family was destroyed by the war, Adam finds himself torn between his newfound personal happiness and a growing compulsion to seek justice against what he sees as a corrupt power structure.

"Memoirs of a Domestic Terrorist" offers a searing exploration of how ordinary people become radicalized, the moral complexity of violence for political ends, and the insidious nature of government corruption. Through Adam's journey, we confront uncomfortable questions about power, complicity, and what constitutes terrorism versus freedom fighting. This unflinching narrative challenges readers to examine their own political assumptions and the moral compromises that support the status quo.

If you enjoyed "American War," "The Reluctant Fundamentalist," and "Underground Airlines," you'll love "Memoirs of a Domestic Terrorist."
