Lindsey is an orphan who knows nothing of her family. Worse, she’s bullied at school and failing her history class. Yet Lindsey knows a secret, one her city of Baltimore does not want her to know. The history they are teaching in school is wrong. It’s a fake, whitewashed version, sanitized so America is painted as a more perfect union with liberty and justice for all, from 1776 to now. Suddenly forced out on her own, Lindsey encounters the Resistance. They offer her a chance to fight to preserve history the way it actually happened. Lindsey accepts. She fights Baltimore and the government, forcing them both to acknowledge America’s past, dark as it may be. However, is it possible for Lindsey to uncover not just Baltimore’s secrets, but also her own personal history as she travels through the past, present, and future?

"It's not easy being a superhero. When not busy looking danger straight in the eye, there's comic book sales, public complaints and failed marketing strategies to deal with. Sometimes it seems the only solace for a hard day of crime-fighting is a trip to the secret café. Our heroes--the explosive Firebang, the voluptuous Mandible Maiden and the recently retired Crescent Wonder--gather to have a drink and welcome the newest apprentice, an eager kid with an unusual name. But the day is young, and there is danger lurking. 'American Way' shows what happens when those with superpowers suddenly realize that they are powerless. With a mixture of humor and tragedy, it shows us what truly makes a superhero"--Page 4 of cover.
