Jackson Stitt Wilson (1868-1942) was one of America's most prominent socialist politicians. Barton's biography brings his extraordinary career vividly to life and illuminates the vitality and creativity of the socialist movement, from the Gilded Age to the New Deal. Ordained as a Methodist minister in Chicago during the great depression of 1893-1897, Wilson resigned to help start a Christian socialist movement which would be joined by hundreds of American ministers. He was a noted public speaker, drawing enthusiastic audiences of thousands in the U.S., Canada and Great Britain, where he worked with the newly formed Labour Party. After Wilson and his family moved to Berkeley, California, he ran for Governor and then was elected mayor, but declined to run for re-election after tragedy struck his family. He was a strong supporter of women's rights, and his two daughters both became socialists and stars of stage and screen during the silent movie era. During World War I, Wilson again ran for mayor, but was narrowly defeated after false accusations from a Berkeley-based "citizen secret service" organization, sponsored by the U.S. Army. The Great Depression of the 1930s brought renewed attention to Wilson's Christian socialism. He worked to revive the Socialist Party, then worked for his friend Upton Sinclair's EPIC campaign for governor in 1934. In the last years of his life he warned against the rise of fascism and supported the New Deal as the only credible alternative."Stephen Barton's fascinating biography of Jackson Stitt Wilson resurrects the life and times of this remarkable but almost-forgotten public figure. Wilson was part of a vibrant Christian socialist movement who put its principles into practice after he was elected mayor of Berkeley, California in 1911, a period when more than 1,200 Socialists won public offices across the country. Many of the then-radical ideas Wilson crusaded for-women's suffrage, a minimum wage, an end to child labor, old age insurance, and the right of workers to form unions-are things we now take for granted. Barton's well-written and comprehensive biography reminds us that today's progressives-in California and elsewhere-stand on Wilson's shoulders."- Peter Dreier, E.P. Clapp Distinguished Professor of Politics, Occidental College, and author of The 100 Greatest Americans of the 20th Century: A Social Justice Hall of Fame and We Own the Future: Democratic Socialism, American Style"A carefully researched account of the fascinating life and times of Berkeley's only Socialist Party mayor, Barton's book also includes important insights into the history of the early twentieth century socialist movement in the United States and Britain."- Charles Wollenberg, former Professor of History and Chair of Social Sciences, Berkeley City College, and author of Berkeley, A City in History"Barton's book is a masterfully researched and carefully written biography of Wilson. This book not only brings to life again an important yet understudied Berkeley citizen of the early twentieth century, it can also help dispel some popular misconceptions about socialism, religion, and their mutual role in fostering social change."- Douglas Firth Anderson, Professor Emeritus of History, Northwestern College, and co-author of Pilgrim Progression: The Protestant Experience in California
In 2045, following the collapse of the Federal Government, the United States has fragmented into an uneasy alliance of sovereign city states, living side by side in nervous apprehension. As crime runs rampant in New Philadelphia, drastic measures are considered to ensure the survival of what is left of civilization. A research program is generated and after years of painstaking work, the New Philadelphia government identified the sin of Envy as the predominant reason behind every crime. Eradicating it now became its sole purpose.Having identified the catalyst, a new drug called Eir niiX is conceived, allowing those who take it to change their appearance to look like anyone else. With the population enamored with the idea and manipulated by clever marketing, an entirely new fashion for conforming to a certain look was born. But all is not as it seems and when Alex Redfields, an outsider living on the edges of the city, learns of the true purpose of Morpho, she becomes determined to free the people of New Philadelphia from the drug robbing them of their identity. It will mean going up against some of the most powerful agents of a ruthless state as well as the corporations' desire to remain in power. Can Alex and her friends, Cami and Vex, survive long enough to uncover the truth, and save a generation from themselves?

She was a tiny little lamb that claimed my heart with one fearful look. I was her captor, the man responsible for breaking her, for preparing her for auction. She was taken, plucked right off the street, and brought to me to be sold at the next auction. Rescuing her from my men was never part of the deal, and neither was bringing her up to my room.Yet, night after night I did this, refusing to give up the way she made me feel. When I'm with her I feel less like a monster. I can remember the man I used to be before the mob got to me, before all the bad tainted my soul. But wanting her is forbidden, and keeping her unthinkable. If they find out what I'm doing they'll kill both of us. And still ...I want to save her. I want to love her. I want to cherish her. When the time comes, will I be able to let her go? Or will I risk both our lives for a love that I may not deserve?
