How do families with differing viewpoints survive in Trump's America? In The Crusade of Connor Stephens, extreme loss shakes a Texas family following a tragic school shooting. In the midst of widespread media attention, their story becomes an allegory for the national debate over religion, tolerance, LGBT issues, and the seedlings of hate. With humor and resilience, they will discover the brutal universal truths that define the American family in the 21st century.
