Ava's Crucible Books

The Second American Civil War Has Begun! The deck is stacked against twenty-nine-year-old Ava. She’s a fighter, but she’s got trust issues and doesn’t always make the best decisions. Her personal complications aren’t without merit, but America is on the verge of a second civil war, and Ava must pull it together if she wants to survive. The tentacles of the deep state have infiltrated every facet of American culture. The public education system, entertainment industry, and mainstream media have all been hijacked by a shadow government intent on fomenting a communist revolution in the United States. The antagonistic message of this agenda has poisoned the minds of America’s youth who are convinced that capitalism and conservatism are responsible for all the ills of the world. Violent protest, widespread destruction, and politicians who insist on letting the disassociated vent their rage will bring America to her knees, threatening to decapitate the laws, principles, and values on which the country was founded. The revolution has been well-planned, but the socialists may have underestimated America’s true patriots who refuse to give up without a fight. Ava's had a hard life . . . and it's about to get a whole lot tougher! Ava has just lost her adoptive mother to cancer. She has no idea who her biological father is and her adoptive dad walked out on his family for the sweet young thing at the office fifteen years ago. With such a long history of loss and abandonment, it’s understandable why she’s hesitant to put her faith in people. Ava refuses to give in to fear, but she simply cannot survive on her own. She must deal with her crisis of faith and learn to trust others, or she’ll never make it through the bloodiest period of America’s history. Don’t miss this chilling tale of America’s Civil War 2.0! As with all books by Mark Goodwin, this book contains no profanity and no embarrassing sex scenes. However, if you're offended by conservative principles and references to Scripture, this book might not be for you.

America has fallen! Ava’s band of misfits is all that stands between freedom and absolute tyranny. Political division in the United States has reached the boiling point and the Second American Civil War is underfoot. Communist agitators have been successful in their efforts to intimidate voters from key states. The worst has happened. A far-left socialist candidate has stolen the reins of power, and his designs against the republic are absolute. With a sympathetic congress, he will sign in sweeping bans on firearms, criminalize free speech, and institute a new government agency to root out dissenters. Ava’s group pledges to launch an insurgency campaign against the occupying force in Texas, but they’ll have to watch out for those who have been tasked with purging the patriots. A handful of freedom-loving governors and congressmen take a stand against the tyrannical administration by succeeding from the Union. They represent an America who wishes to live in peace and live free. But that idea flies in the face of everything the dictatorial regime holds dear. Ava’s team cannot fail in their mission to liberate Texas. If Texas falls, America’s demise is all but certain. As with all books by Mark Goodwin, this book contains no profanity and no embarrassing sex scenes. However, if you're offended by conservative principles and references to Scripture, this book might not be for you.

The worst has happened. Texas has fallen. It’s up to Ava to get it back.

Still mourning her loss, Ava has seen more death and destruction than she ever bargained for. She’s finished with fighting, but she may hold the key to America’s survival. An unexpected visitor implores her to take on one last impossible task. If she turns down the request, it could spell the end of freedom and the Alliance, but if she accepts the challenge, victory is by no means guaranteed. Ava has endured as much heartache as she can handle, but if America dies, if the Alliance fails, things will only get worse. She has to make a choice, and she must act before the clock runs out. Don't miss the final chapter in this post-apocalyptic sensation! As with all books by Mark Goodwin, this book contains no profanity and no embarrassing sex scenes.
