About this audiobook
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
In the serene town of Pine Wood, nestled in the leafy embrace of Clinton County, the echo of a nation divided reverberates in 'The Rift,' an enthralling family drama. Unveil the intricacies of Tyler and Jenna's lives, once inseparable siblings raised in a blissfully apolitical home, now torn asunder by the escalating polarisation of politics and the pervasive culture war.
Against the backdrop of the tumultuous January 6th insurrection in the nation's capital, Tyler seeks refuge in Jenna's home with her husband, Matthew, and their three children. However, he becomes ensnared in a web of far-right conspiracy theories. As Tyler's beliefs start to have a detrimental effect on the entire family, Jenna faces a critical juncture, torn between allegiance to her brother and the well-being of her family. Can she navigate this perilous path and avert an impending tragedy?
Embark on a journey through the relentless tension and gripping dynamics of 'The Rift,' set in contemporary America, exploring the unravelling threads of loyalty, political awakening, and the tragic consequences of ideological extremities. Discover how the characters' experiences shape their views and the profound impact it has on their lives.
