Williston resident Steven Shepard's newest book, The Nation We Knew, took the number one bestseller position at Amazon in political fiction for quite a few days, and continues to sell near the top of the list. The book's premise is intriguing: What would the United States look like—what would it represent—if leadership suddenly put country before party, possibility before dogma, and created a vision of a better future and then executed against that vision? In this thought-provoking book, a new president takes the country to task—and reinvents government, healthcare, job creation, foreign relations, transportation infrastructure, and education, and with the help of her unlikely cabinet, shows the nation—and the world—what could be, rather than what is. More than anything, the book is a lesson in leadership and vision.
This is Dr. Shepard's 94th book, and his second novel.
