She’s the beautiful cheerleader next door. He, a star athlete on the football team. Together, Haley and Michael are the picture of the all-American dream bright, young, and bursting with potential. When their paths first collide in September 1962, the future seems limitless and the air charged with optimism, as their high schools embark on the beginning of a new football season. There’s no way they or anyone else would suspect what’s coming next. Weeks later the country is on the brink of a nuclear holocaust, and Camelot is doomed to crumble at the hands of a presidential assassin. Nor could they imagine how a secret government conspiracy, penned back in 1776, serves as the catalyst that will tie these events together. Liberty Once Lost is the story of two teenagers whose lives have intertwined during this tumultuous period in American history—never to be the same again. Driven by the complexity and contrasts of life during the 1960s, this thought-provoking work of historical fiction combines authentic characters with true-to-life issues, for a fast-paced and engaging page-turner from beginning to end.
