The Thorne Doctrine

Illegal: Crossroads of Justice is a haunting, powerful, and timely novel set in the heartland of America where the winds of prejudice, fear, and courage collide.

When Marco Rodriguez disappears without a trace, his wife Sarah is left to raise their young son alone while facing escalating hate and suspicion in her small Oklahoma town. As Sarah searches for truth and justice, four teenagers—Carlos, Sofia, Daniel, and Isabel—grapple with an ICE raid that shakes their school and community, awakening their own voices in a fight against injustice. Meanwhile, Deputy Mark Miller, weary but dogged, begins to uncover disturbing ties between Marco’s disappearance, a corrupt construction company, and a growing white supremacist movement.

As lives intertwine and secrets unravel, the community of Norman, Oklahoma stands at a crossroads. Will they choose silence and complicity—or justice and transformation?

A gripping tale of loss, resistance, and the human spirit, Illegal: Crossroads of Justice shines a searing light on the hidden truths of immigration, power, and belonging in modern America.
