While political and cultural wars threaten to tear the country apart, Wyoming remains a bastion of conservatism and Republicanism. But now, a secretative organization--The Project--is building a new metropolis in Wyoming. Its backers plan to populate the upstart city with homeless and nearly homeless people. And liberals!
Young, smart, and attractive, Sabrina Adams may be the best community organizer her age in the country. But community organizing is a low-paying profession, and she's struggling financially. On top of that, funding for her current position is drying up, and a stalker is threatening to kill her.
The Project offers Sabrina a job as a community organizer for the new city's challenging residents. But the position is in far off Wyoming, where local leaders fierecly resent this "invasion" and threaten to crush it.
If Sabrina accepts the offer, she will need to rally the new city's residents to defend against the political backlash. It would be a high-profile, high-stakes job-exactly the sort of exposure that might prompt her stalker to follow her to Wyoming and fulfill his promise to kill her.
Review :
"The Wyoming Plot is satirical. The humor is droll; the laughs sneak up on the reader.
"The novel pivots on the way the Constitution favors low-population rural states in the Senate and Electoral College. To my knowledge the plot is unique: Somebody tries to take advantage of that by migrating homeless and near-homeless people into Wyoming, the lowest-population state. They hope to turn Wyoming from Deep Red to Purple or even Blue.
"Political junkies can read this book in an election year and not feel burned out from having too much politics. And they can pick up on droll humor that can be subtly ridiculous but will be readily apparent to the politically attuned." -- Yolande Maarsen, Beta Reader
