They rescued him. They can rescue her.Set in the not-so-distant future, Chasing Liberty is a young adult novel about a woman who wants to direct her own life, instead of having it controlled by the government. This novel explores the loss the individual faces when government is allowed to grow too big and reach too far. The traditional family is nonexistent. Human life loses value. The earth is elevated above man.“I just finished the book, it was excellent. It is a hypothetical of what could happen to this country and the world when government controls you from cradle to grave and how a young woman by the name of Liberty is chasing just that liberty and freedom. It is a must read as this book takes you further in what happens to a society that is government run than the book Agenda 21 by Harriet Parke and Glenn Beck.” Joe Goldner, co-host at The Truth Is Out There-Voice of the People Radio Show!“Chasing Liberty is a fast-paced novel set in a futuristic, dystopian society that has eliminated individual freedoms for the greater good of society. When Liberty seeks to escape her fate the chase is on. The reader is taken on a roller coaster ride through a narrative filled with tension, hostility, excitement, and misdirection. Important themes of greed, power, corruption, friendship, hope, faith, and family add weight to the story. Ms. Linden is a writer with something to say and she says it in a voice that is strong, clear, and passionate.”Ronald Paxton, author of Winter Songs, Haven and Soul Man“The author creates a realistic vision of a future in which politically-correct, secular, and environmental ideals are taken to the extreme. She paints a physical world so real the reader feels with Liberty her yearning to live free in the natural beauty that has always been kept out of reach.”Carolyn Astfalk, author of Stay with Me
