The Cracks That Held

July, 1976. Instead of celebrating a bicentennial, the former United States is on the verge of reuniting 100 years after a protracted Civil War that neither side seemed able nor willing to win.

Along the heavily patrolled border between The Northern and The Southern, citizens of both sides are lined up waiting for the wall to fall so they can move freely and seek a new life within one nation... A nation now stripped of its shared identity, technology, and culture; bereft of soul.

But can a fledgling government succeed in bringing it all back together, or will the shadowy forces of dissention reclaim the cracks that held?

B.H. Newton's THE CRACKS THAT HELD: IN THE LAST STALL OF BENNY'S BORDER PETROL is a thought-provoking, mystical epic set in an alternate past.
