The Third Way - Paperback

by Aimee Hoben (Author)

When mega-corporation Unibank threatens to foreclose on her grandmother's South Dakota farm, Arden Firth fights back with a revolutionary idea. Enlisting the help of an enigmatic law student, Justin Kirish, Arden builds a campaign to abolish corporations in the state. To win, she must overcome her fear of public speaking and learn to lead while juggling her growing feelings for Kirish. When secrets from the past and dark corporate forces threaten to destroy their movement, however, the success of the ballot campaign suddenly hangs in the balance.

A novel charting the intersection between idealism, extremism, and forgiveness, The Third Way--awarded the Independent Publishers Book Award 2023 IPPY Gold Medal for Popular Fiction--is perfect for fans of Barbara Kingsolver and Margaret Atwood.
