HIBERNATION by S. J. Epps
MIDLOTHIAN, TX, UNITED STATES, September 15, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ — HIBERNATION, the first installment in an evocative trilogy by author S. J. Epps, invites readers into a polarized world where social order has flipped — ushering in a rainbow-dominated culture that challenges entrenched beliefs and flips the script on conventional power dynamics.
In HIBERNATION, the world has flipped upside down. A new class of citizens has emerged from their ideological hibernation — rejecting heterosexual idealism and reshaping cultural norms. In the aftermath of legalized same-sex marriage, two pastors find themselves at the heart of a societal earthquake. Pastor Winter Sams navigates hidden personal complexities while Pastor Simon faces legal peril and imprisonment for standing by his convictions.
Inspired by a powerful dream — envisioning a future where Christian rights are erased — Epps crafts a cautionary tale rooted in faith and conflict. “The book was born from a vivid dream,” explains Epps. “A dream of a society where the church voices are silenced under shifting moral tides.”
Reviewers have praised HIBERNATION for its complex characters, emotional depth and thought-provoking stakes. While some note the narrative’s strength in its intimate portrayal of Winter and Simon’s internal struggles and their intricate emotional arcs, others highlight the book’s layered storytelling — family dynamics, legal dilemmas and societal upheavals blended with steady pacing and compelling drama.
At once a gut-wrenching character study and a clarion warning, HIBERNATION drags readers into a nation split down the middle — where secrets ignite, convictions collide and the true cost of holding to belief is put on trial. S. J. Epps offers no comfortable answers, forcing us to sit in the rupture, feel the ache of faith under pressure and ask what we would sacrifice to keep our conscience intact.
Bold, prophetic and unflinchingly timely, HIBERNATION demands to be read, wrestled with and talked about long after the last page — and the conversation starts now.
HIBERNATION is available on Amazon and other popular retail outlets where books are sold.
