Acclaimed journalist turned award-winning author, John DeDakis brings us a story truly ripped from the headlines. Enemies Domestic features newly minted White House Press Secretary Lark Chadwick as she navigates the daunting new job. Lark is pregnant and the first question she’s asked by a pool reporter is if she intends to abort her unborn child?

Freedom of choice, political power, insurrection, and disinformation are all hot button emotional issues and DeDakis weaves them into a compelling thriller without venturing off into a preachy monologue. It’s balanced and the reader can decide where they fall on the complicated questions we face. DeDakis talks about how he crafted the characters and the storyline for Enemies Domestic with James L’Etoile for Authors on the Air.
