‘Written with verve and economy, this fast-paced, atmospheric story pits true love against professional integrity amid surroundings of breathtaking grandeur.’ - Wendy Holden #dailymail #LoveInALostLand #whitefox #jamesmacmanus #bookstagram #bookstagram UK #lovestory

Now read all 45 pages of Trump indictment for trying to overthrow the legitimate result of the 2020 presidential election. It doesn’t add much that is new but, by assembling all the crucial evidence of Trump’s efforts to usurp democracy in one document, it is devastating.
