About the Book

A live-changing, inspirational adventure and love story about a girl, stuck in the dregs of poverty, who discovers the American Dream.

Once gorgeous and brilliant, Corey Adams believed she could accomplish anything. She took that belief to college, but like many people, when bad things began to happen in her life, she dropped out of school, struggled and then fell into the safety net provided by the US government's welfare system. As the years passed, she came to rely more and more on Uncle Sam's help. During those years, she lost her drive, her ambition and her love of life... that is, until Aaron Billings showed up at her door. The two set off on a jeep adventure to explore America. During the jeep trip through the Black Hills and historic sojourn, her spirit was reborn by the adventure while she relearned the spirit of the American Dream.

The Book: Born Again American was the inspiration for the Shelley Laine song: Born Again American. Like many inspirational tales, the short story got a life of its own.
About the Author: As a young boy, Michael Gorton was the poor kid next door who had a dream and was willing to work to achieve that dream. He grew up in a lower middle class family but his parents and four siblings taught him to set goals and stay persistent. While working full time, he made time to earn degrees in Physics, Engineering and Law. After working 12 years as an engineer manager in corporate America, he is now a serial entrepreneur who has founded 8 companies. Amongst those are notables: Internet Global, Palo Duro Records and TelaDoc, now the world's largest telemedicine company. Michael has been a prolific writer, authoring technical articles on a wide range of topics including Internet, power systems, remote metering and disconnect, solar, electric vehicles, healthcare, telemedicine, astronomy, physics and music.

Born Again American was Michael's 3rd novel. The others being USSA, Lex Talionis, followed by Tachyon Tunnel, and the current work Forefathers & Founding Fathers. This short story was written to inspire current generations to believe in the American Dream. Born Again American is the first in a series. The next two will be published in 2017.
