The Border Crossing

The story of
three teens, members of the first generation to come of age after the United
States splits into two countries, continues.




When tragedy
strikes Judith Braverman in the God Fearing States (GFS), Dani Fine is
determined to leave the safety of home in the United Progressive Regions (UPR) and
once again sneak across the border to join Judith and the new Minyan of
Resistance. She's also eager to figure out if she and Judith have any chance of
making something of the attraction and pull they felt during their first, brief
meeting.




Impatient
for some visible act of defiance, Jeffrey Schwartz is worried that the Minyan
is more focused on prayer than on actual resistance. But when the GFS
president, running in a close re-election campaign against a self-proclaimed
"Christian white supremacist," vows to step up the government's actions against
the country's Jews, the Minyan makes its move. Aided by Dani's talents and by an unexpected,
new ally from the UPR, their mission ends up placing the Resistance in grave
danger.











Nothing
that's come before can prepare Judith, Dani and Jeffrey for the challenges they
now face as their futures appear more and more uncertain.
