The 11th book in Joe Nobody's popular series, Holding Their Own: Hearts and Minds, takes the reader on a rampaging exploration of how critical the elements of trust, faith, and respect will become in the post-apocalyptic world. Bold steps are required to ensure the recovery continues, placing enormous pressure on the Republic's leadership and creating opportunities for old enemies to seek revenge. The stakes are high, the weight of civilization's future sending waves of discord rolling across the land and potentially fracturing the very foundation on which the Alliance was built. Bishop and Terri find themselves embroiled in a fast moving conspiracy that not only threatens all that has been accomplished, but also their future together. They soon discover that the greatest threats aren't external... but come from within the hearts and minds of those they love.
