Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 514
Book Description
Blood dripped from his ears, mouth, nose and the bullet hole on his shoulder as he kept crying in pain, “please don’t let me die," he pleaded. "I didn't do anything to Whitney, I love her. I’m totally innocent.” Udo implored, as he led on the floor, face down. His legs were chained together, his hands, cuffed to his back while officer Jason's right knee remained pegged on his neck, crunching, and pressing life out of him.---------From Whitney & Udo Whitney and Udo is an American romantic story inside an ocean of race, and replacement systemic ideological realities. Whitney lived in aww of her white nationalist US Senator father whose legacy she was being raised to carry. But her love for him rapidly turned into hate and spite, when he drugged her at dinner and had their family doctor, rip the baby out of her womb as she was passed out. The father of her baby, and her lover Udo is colored. Senator Helley, enrobed with the cloak of conservatism, and carrying the mantle of reversing and blunting the replacement theory, was popularly known in conservative corners and the US Senate as the defender of the unborn in the United States. He's a strong opponent of abortion rights, and at the forefront of the fight to overturn Roe. vs. Wade, advocating abortion at any stage be criminalized. Thus the hypocrisy in drugging and forcing an abortion on her daughter when she passed out, was very high. Whitney had two jobs at hand. Make her father and family doctor drink the same cool=aid they served her unborn child, and protect her lover while defending her love to him, despite ideological differences inherent and inbuilt in the system. To achieve any or all of the two tasks, she must be ready to paddle against a deadly surging wave.
