The Fatherhood Mandate

A student-athlete cruising through college. Until he's forced by the government into parenthood.

Milwaukee, Wisconsin. 2028. Sam Maxwell is looking forward to freedom. But after breaking up with his on-again, off-again girlfriend for good, he's shocked when the court summons him about a surprise pregnancy. And his frustrated anger burns hot when the state's pro-birth, anti-abortion laws sentence him to serve as the embryo's declared biological parent.

Struggling with the loss of his scholarship, friends, and curtailed rights while placed on house arrest, Sam fights to keep his sense of self as his stubborn partner tries to force her own plans. But when he steps too far outside the harsh lines, the bitter young man faces devastating criminal charges... for a child who might not even be his.

Will he find a path through the oppression before his life derails forever?
