American Antigone. The actions of a young woman to honor her aborted brother ignite a national firestorm that changes the lives of everyone involved. American Antigone is a roller coaster ride of life-and-death encounters, a media firestorm, and a tale of grace and conversion. This book is a must-read for anyone who cares about a culture of life, religious freedom, or understanding our current national crisis.

“In a media world filled with soundbites and ‘gotcha’ stories, this story offers a personal look at divisive political issues and the real impact they have on our communities, our families, and ourselves. Bravo to Matthew Archbold for offering today’s confused and divided world a much-needed dose of truth, humanity, and inspiration.”
—Danielle Bean, author, speaker, and manager of CatholicMom.com

“Just finished American Antigone and I honestly loved the book but maybe not for the reasons you would think.  I love crime novels, and this has all the elements including the hero, Paul, who would not fall for the arrogant media types like his editor who say they make people know what to think because they are the ones in charge. This is a book worth reading. This book will help the reader see how love is at the heart of a life lived for others.  You packed a lot into this book, Matt, and it deserves to be read, maybe reread, and contemplated.  I have read a lot of books books about abortion, fiction and nonfiction, and AMERICAN ANTIGONE is one of the best.”
