Story of My Book
America: CivilWar II is a book inspired by modern America’s civil breakdown tearing us apart by ideals, race, religion and gender. In this novel the worst has happened, and now a diverse group of people who never set out to be heroes are working together to save the country from war and climate change.
My name is Francine Lee W. and I am the author of America: Civil War II. I wrote this book because our country seems to be dividing as much as people are trying to pull together. I believe that sometimes fictitious worlds can open minds and bring people together.
In this book, you'll learn that:
Not all heroes try to be a hero. Sometimes the most unlikely person can do something amazing.
No matter your circumstances, you are always capable of doing something that makes a difference.
No one is indispensable. Whether we lack faith in ourselves or allow other people’s opinions to control us, if we just believe in ourselves we have the ability to be a hero in our own right.
You will love this book if you love a diversity of heroes and characters, love dystopian novels, and believe in the power of the common person.
America: Civil War IIis a fiction book that speaks to adult and young adult readers who are looking for diversity and inspiration that can go from fantasy to inspiring reality.
The Book - America Civil War II
The Book is Written in Five Parts
In Part 1, you meet our heroine, Scheherazade, and watch her fall from the top surgeon in climate torn New York City to a badly injured and mentally disturbed woman who has given up on all but revenge against those who wronged her and her family. You also meet her heroes who are about to change her life again.
In Part 2, The Island, as Scheherazade, our heroine, calls Manhattan is about to be utterly consumed and destroyed. Scher must choose between trusting total strangers or risking dying alone in a city full of people who want her dead.
In Part 3, Scher learns more about her new companions as they face battles and villains who want to kill them for the knowledge and technology they have to save the country. With their lives constantly in danger our heroes lean on each other’s specific skills and talents to survive and keep moving to safety.
In Part 4, the final battle is fifteen against many. They cannot win unless each of these different heroes, with their own family members, friends, and motivations can pull together and fight, some willing to pay the ultimate price for the benefit of people who may be fighting against their rights as a person.
In Part 5, those who survive mourn those they lost, but there is little time to rest. The world needs saving. Scher and the heroes must now join another group of people and trust them to help further their project.

About the Author
Francine Lee W. is a content writer, poet, assistant editor and poetry mentor for the Coffee House Writers. She enjoys helping other writers learn to find their voice and develop a professional style that matches their writing personality while continuing to grow her writing abilities.
As a human with empathy, Francine has often wondered what will happen if people don’t learn to overcome their differences and work together. What happens when people effectively put aside their differences and use their diverse ideas, skills and abilities for a greater purpose. This novel is an entertaining, non-preaching, look at those who work against others for their own gain and those who come together despite their differences, shortcomings and disabilities to selflessly improve the life of others.
Francine has gone through many ideological and physical changes in her life. One thing she has always believed in is that people can change. Regardless of age, infirmity, or circumstance we all have the opportunity to become better people. All it takes is faith, patience and perseverance. Something she likes to use as a theme in her writing.

Risks & Challenges
The biggest challenge with publishing a book is delivering the finished book to the backer, specifically my mailing of the book to you. I have eliminated this risk by building into the campaign the mailing and shipping costs of your signed copies to you within each pre-order tier.
The risk of delivering the pre-sale copies of my book is contingent on the publisher we use. I will be working closely with New Degree Press to make sure we get the earliest possible ship date of the signed book copy to you. We will keep all pre-sale backers up-to-date as my book hits each key milestone and publishes. You will know when the copies of my book you pre-ordered are expected to ship.
