In the year 2025 big cities in America are being terrorized by well organized gangs as the food and supply shortages increase to disastrous near famine levels. The U.S. economy is in decline and violent crime is the order of the day. Citizens begin to flee the large metro areas for small town life in search of peace and tranquility. As the economic situation deteriorates the criminal gangs advance on the easy targets of rural America, to plunder and destroy everything in their path. Jefferson City is such a target and Sheriff G W Mekinen has had enough. The hardheaded, constitution by the book sheriff develops a plan to combat an ever increasing crime wave by enlisting the help of prominent city residents. However, all is not as it seems, the gangs are too well armed and evolve into what at first appears to be a criminal army. What the citizens of Jefferson must do to defend themselves quickly becomes a topic of debate as moral values clash with the need to survive. What Mekinen and others find after a criminal terrorist raid shakes them to the core; they must rise to the occasion or perish but those behind the attacks have a different agenda.

From a doting dad to determined humanitarian, Mark Collins has leveraged his challenges into philanthropic success. Founder of YOUschool, a learning organisation with the purpose of helping young people choose their best path in life, it is Mark's lived experiences that help him give children the best opportunities to enjoy happy, loving, and joyful lives through to adulthood. It is from his son, Max, that Mark draws inspiration. After being diagnosed with epilepsy at age five, Max has spent the last seven years in and out of hospitals - his dad by his side every step of the way. Mark has spent this time learning everything he can about his son's condition, raising money, and promoting awareness for epilepsy. It was his son's illness that spurred Mark to focus on his own health and wellbeing, recognising the direct effect and influence that the energy of others had on his son's symptoms. Mark began regularly practising meditation, yoga and eating natural foods with Max as a way of assisting him in his treatment. Max's seizure count went from sometimes over 50 per day to consistently zero with an energetic approach rather than a physical one. From neuro linguistic techniques and hypnosis to toxin removal and cranio-sacral adjustments, Mark and Max found their own way forward after being told that this was just how Max is, there is nothing other than the medication he takes. This book was written as the events in them played out over a two-year period. It is a blend of parenting advice, health and wellness techniques and a real life story of unconditional love and dedication between a father and son.
