| Itâ s been a rough year for Alex Collins. In the past twelve months, heâ s lost his best friend, become the target of the two biggest bullies at school, and been sentenced to community service. But on June 25, 2013, he gets a call for help from Cassie Ramirez, the prettiest girl in school. At last, he feels like his luck might be changing. Cassie is at the Texas State Capitol to protest Wendy Davisâ s historic filibuster of the abortion bill HB2, and sheâ s rallying everyone she knows to join her. Until today, Alex didnâ t know what a filibuster was, and heâ d never given a momentâ s thought to how he felt about abortion. But at the Capitol, he finds himself in the middle of a tense scene full of pro-life â blueshirts,â pro-choice â orangeshirts,â and blustering politicians playing political games as Wendy Davis tries to run out the clock at midnight. Alex may have entered the Capitol looking to spend time with Cassie, but the political gets personal when he runs into his ex-friend Shireen in an orange T-shirt and quickly realizes that when it comes to an issue like abortion, neutral isnâ t an option. Over the next nineteen hoursâ as things get increasingly heated both on the Senate floor and between the two sets of protestersâ Alex will struggle to figure out what side heâ s on, knowing that whatever choice he makes will bring him face-to-face with his past mistakes. |
