AMERICAN MIDNIGHT
At eighteen, Tania Peters still carries deep scars from her mother’s tragic death, and when she’s betrayed by someone close, pain and confusion threaten to swallow her whole. But underneath all the hurt, she senses the hand of purpose on her life and finds hope in an exciting new political movement.
The Unity Party seems to offer everything—tolerance, compassion, and a plan to unite society. But not everyone sees the movement as good. Tania's two brothers, Jeremy and Greg, have become bitter enemies over the ideals of the Party, and her father, a church pastor, fears that this promised "unity" is a threat to churches across the country.
Tania doesn’t share her father’s faith and sees no room for a loving God in the world she’s come to know. Instead, she gains strength from her rising celebrity within the Unity Party, finding friendship, acceptance, and even the first traces of romance. But none of these things can save her when her extremist brother plots to bring down the Unity Party in their home town of Midian.
Pitted between the Party’s utopian promises and the Christian friends and families who find themselves on the outside of this new American dream, Tania must choose between her long dormant faith in God and her future with the Party.
...But that one decision could cost her everything—including her life and the lives of those she loves.

DUBLIN
Nestled in the wooded hills east of the San Francisco Bay, Dublin’s sprawling valley has welcomed people from all walks of life throughout its rich history. At the heart of the tri-valley region, this former agricultural community has grown exponentially over the years, forming a modern city. From California’s first native inhabitants, through the Spanish and Mexican periods, to the arrival of the first American settlers, Dublin has long been at the crossroads of culture and settlement.
Author Mike Lynch has gathered a unique gallery of images and stories from a variety of public and private sources throughout the tri-valley area. With the help of Elizabeth Isles, director of the Dublin Heritage Center, and the invaluable contributions of many of the families whose roots stretch back to the town’s earliest days, they have compiled this remarkable volume of Dublin’s storied past, thus preserving its imagery and history for generations to come.
