Confession is Good for the Soul

By Patrice Stanton

Behind secure, blast-proof walls in Washington, D.C., a regime minion is burning the midnight oil...literally. This night, she’ll risk everything, to complete a task she suddenly sees could be the only honest contribution of her entire life.

Trained throughout that female-privileged life to distrust men, she'll ride out from certain safety and into certain death. If wild animals outside the Protected Zone don’t get her, she’s pretty sure wild men will. After all, she’s meeting one of the most notorious outlaws in the region. She’ll deliver a Truth only she has had the wherewithal to record; does she have the stomach to face the consequences that’d be most fitting?
