A NEW ORIGINAL ANTHOLOGY Edward J. McFadden’s new book, Jigsaw Nation is now available wherever fine books are sold, online or off. The United States is divided, blue states against red. In the wake of the 2004 Presidential election the citizens of America take matters into their own hands, and secession becomes reality. In Jigsaw Nation you will find tales that address the question: what if the blue states left the republic? What if the greatest country in the world split up?
