An enchanting tale of corruption in high places...
A
pyschological novel that ushers us to the brink of an unholy war over the mysterious
passage of time between spirit and flesh,as an attorney fights for justice for one young
woman and her unborn child.
The vision
offered by this provocative novel is that of a woman's deeper sense of love and her
excruciating spasms of conscience as she brings to life a child of another order...her own
free will.
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.

"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
