Summary

What happens when becoming a father is no longer a choice?

Sam Maxwell is looking forward to graduating from college. After breaking up with his on-again, off-again girlfriend for good, his life is suddenly derailed by a summons to Family Court. Wisconsin's pro-birth laws declare him the biological father of an embryo, which has been appointed a ward of the state.

Struggling with the sudden loss of his athletic scholarship, friends, and freedom after being placed under house arrest, Sam fights to keep his sense of self as his stubborn partner tries to force her own agenda. When a bad decision crosses the line set by the court, the angry young man faces devastating criminal charges . . . for a child that may not be his.

Will he find a path through this autocratic nightmare before his life is derailed forever?

Set in 2028, The Fatherhood Mandate is a captivating and dark dystopian novel that explores the mind-bending question of what bodily autonomy means to our society.

A must-listen for fans of The Marriage Act. Buy it today!

Excllent

Very relevant for the times. This hit close to home, told from the male characters perspective but still highly relevant. This could well be a foretelling rather than fiction. I think it should be mandatory reading. Excellent work.
