Mail from a New Zapata reader
Mail from a New Zapata reader:
"As a liberal, feminist woman who grew up in Texas, I have to tell you that the entire concept of "New Zapata" scares the living hell out of me . . . Bravo for having a truly original idea! Books like yours are how I justify my love of YA novels, even though I'm very much older than a young adult."

Think the world of New Zapata seems a bit far-fetched?
Then you might want to Google "Arkansas and North Dakota abortion laws" and catch up on the news.
It's getting scary out there.

It's International Women's Day!
In honor of thew day, read New Zapata! Especially if you don't remember Roe vs. Wade. And let's celebrate women everywhere, and hope that one day human rights prevail globally!

New Zapata
About forty years ago Roe vs. Wade changed America. Forty years from now, what does the future hold?
It’s 2052, and there’s one less state in the union. Texas, now known as the Republic of Texas, has seceded, just like it did in 1861, though for different reasons this time.
Rebecca lives in New Zapata, a border town in The Republic of Texas. She’s nineteen years old, born and raised in the R of T, and doesn’t remember a time when things were different, though her Aunt Cathy does. Rebecca’s married to Chad, the boy who charmed her into an unplanned pregnancy. She loves her young son, Luke, but she almost died giving birth to him.
That means Rebecca has a problem. Because in New Zapata, birth control and abortion are illegal. So is divorce. And Chad thinks sex is his husbandly right.
There’s an underground of sorts in The R of T, and it reaches even as far as sleepy New Zapata. A group of older women—Rebecca’s Aunt Cathy and some others—have been gathering under the guise of having Bunco parties to try to help women in Rebecca’s position. These ladies remember a time when things were different, when women did have choices.
But it’s a dangerous game to defy the R of T.
Rebecca and her friends may end up playing for their lives.
