Overview
From Jim Crow to Barack Obama, The Fundamentalist's Daughter, An American Story, lifts contemporary America's veil through the interplay of past and present and the commonality of two dissimilar families. The story begins when aspiring writer Adam Lubin travels south to retrace his father's Freedom Summer footsteps. Returning from the racist Jim Crow past Adam becomes immersed in the fundamentalist present after meeting Crystal Cunningham, only daughter of a doctrinaire Southern Baptist minister. From Ann Arbor to Birmingham to New York City, the story parallels the Lubin and Cunningham families, dissecting America's culture wars along the way. A passionate chronicle of dreams, ambition, discovery, tragedy, and renewal, its tone converts from youthful adventure to edgy suspense to introspection. Provocatively, the novel interweaves new love, old friendship, family dynamics, politics, religion, and reflective apprehension into a tapestry of 21st Century America's inherent contradictions. The novel's broader themes resonate through daily life's essential details, shaped by a thoughtful and realistic narrative. PUBLISHED 2011
