In the Midst of Tomorrow

In the Midst of Tomorrow is an exciting romantic fiction novel with a Christian theme.  Although it’s intent is to emphasize God’s love and mercy, it is never “preachy”.  Instead, it is a page turning mystery that keeps the reader spellbound from the first page to the last.

This book is written for varied ages, from teens to adults to senior citizens.  There is absolutely no vulgarity, profanity or sexual situations.

Synopsis

“In the midst of tomorrow lies a man-made world into which God is forbidden to enter.”

The story takes place sometime in the future in a solely computerized underground city called Argess.  In the beginning, Trista and Reed Benosen are awaiting an interview to decide whether or not they will be permitted to have the child they want so badly.  Births are strictly regulated in the underground city of Argess and only a few couples each month are granted the right to have children.  At the same time, Trista’s twin brother, Tory, continues to be upset over the denial of his petition to wed his pregnant sweetheart and the fact that they’ve been forced by law into separation.  The government of Argess will only approve marriages to couples found compatible by computer selection.  JoAnna, a government agent, must hide the existence of her illegitimate, crippled niece because she knows the authorities will take her away if she’s discovered.  Trista’s grandmother, Melissa, quite possibly the only person in the city that believes in God, longs for the freedom to openly tell others about Him.  She can’t, because Argess is dominated by an atheist leader.

They all have one thing in common – a desire for a better life – but they have no idea how or where to find it.  They can’t leave the city because the earth above has been destroyed and there is no place to go.  If they rebel, they will be put to death.

Thus, the months pass with everything remaining exactly the same, until quite by accident, Trista discovers a terrifying secret about what their government is doing to the people, something so horrible it must be exposed and stopped.  How can she, now pregnant, alert the citizens of Argess about the danger they’re in without endangering herself and her unborn child?

The hand of fate intervenes in a most unexpected way, leaving only one solution to the problem – God.  But now the question is:  Would He be willing to help a world of non believers?  Why should He even want to?  If He doesn’t, who will?
