As
flesh is put to headlines, "A Matter of Conscience" is
threaded with dark whisperings, betrayals and exploding violence
by the multitude acting on any individual who is thought to
break the rules.
There
are certain events in their lives that Jessica Whitley and Becca
Stevens now
regret, and only one man is capable of helping them; the
attorney with a unique eloquence and the power to vindicate them
both. But, first, he must believe what they are telling
him.
"A Matter of Conscience" involves the
ironic circumstances of one woman who desires an abortion and
another who does not. Set in Texas, the birthplace of
Roe vs. Wade, the interlocking of these two very different
lives plays out against the despair of a bankrupt state and
its dirty politics. What begins, for both Becca and Jessica, as a very private matter brings about a
controversial case tried in the name of a fetus-child, and
threatens the perceived foundations of us all.

Matter of Conscience
Prologue

Brokers of Power...the real shapers of success and destiny for that
"select few". The elected would always come and go
with a planned obsolescence rivaled only by the automobile industry,
while the real powers become even stronger with each election
washout. On any given day around noon, there was enough wealth
represented in the Hearth's continental dining room to run a small
country. But then, Texas was a small country, both literally
in the past tense and figuratively in the present.
"The sheer power and the goddamned glory...!"
Ryland Whitley had to smile at the regional flavor of his luncheon
guest's conversation. At the same time, he did not
underestimate the big Texan. There were some who said that
Farris Dodge had survived the vicissitudes of eight administrations
because his political brutality shook your hand by day, and your
convictions by night. Ryland knew it was true. Dodge was
the most respected of the fat cats, if for no other reason than his
uncanny ability to spot political winners.
A candidate wanting to know whether to plan on a four year stint in
Austin, had only to ask Farris. Deep within, they knew that he
could make or break the chances of even the incumbents. What
chance then, for a mere tenderfoot? A hopeful? Run the
gamut from monarchy to democracy, and it matters not a whit!
There would always be the puppets, and, just as surely, always the
puppeteers...(read more)
