About Love is Not the Answer by Scott Mackey
Julia Connor is not a revolutionary, and she certainly never intended to be president of the United States. Her plan was to spend retirement helping military veterans with PTSD heal, tending to her bees and meditating in her garden.
But when Julia and her protégés — influencer Melanie Pedreira and former Green Beret Jonathan Robinson — go explosively viral ahead of the 2028 presidential election, they become the unlikely figureheads of a national movement to bring love and compassion into politics. Quick to capitalize on any new trend, both political parties begin pandering to what they call the “Love Vote,” seeking to claim the mantle of love for themselves.
Disgusted by the pandering and fed up with the status quo, the “Love Vote” responds by drafting Julia to run for president as an independent. To everyone’s shock, including her own, Julia’s call for spiritual growth, emotional healing, and personal responsibility vaults her to the top of the polls.
Facing destruction of the extremely profitable two-party political system, a delightfully twisted cast of characters with good intentions and bad ethics vow to win at any cost. Soon presidential candidates, campaign staffers, megachurch ministers and shadowy corporate executives have declared a War on Love.
Caught in the middle of a battle between people’s highest ideals and a system intent on destroying anything that threatens its hold on power, Julia fights to survive the onslaught as election day approaches; the War on Love rages; and the fate of the nation hangs in the balance.
