FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Teen Fights for Equality in Power-Packed Novel
Although The Battle for Tomorrow: A Fable is a novel, its truths ring out loud and clear.
Sixteen-year-old Angela Jones is the primary caretaker of her invalid mother. Having taken on the responsibilities of an adult, she is still treated as a child by law. A 23-year-old political activist opens her eyes to the urgent issues facing humanity, including the sinking economy and catastrophic climate change, problems that will result in alarming consequences for the world.
Ange is arrested for participating in the
non-violent blockade and occupation of the Capitol and winds
up in a juvenile detention facility. While there, she finds
herself fighting for the right to live independently, in
opposition to the laws that require her to be released to a
parent or guardian. The Battle for Tomorrow should be
a rallying cry for all young people to fight for equal
rights protection against age
discrimination.

Author
Bio: A retired psychiatrist, Dr. Stuart Jeanne
Bramhall grew up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and now lives in
New Plymouth, New Zealand. Having worked closely with
adolescents, Dr Bramhall is acutely aware of the
difficulties they face. “In many countries, teenagers are
allowed to vote at 16. My next book is a collection of

expatriate gives me on the political crisis in my native
country.” For more information, visit www.thebattlefortomorrow.com.
