Backlash is about the interplay and conflict between business, government, the media and activists, and how unintended consequences can affect common people. Backlash will be appreciated by all who love freedom and the power of the free market economy to lift people out of poverty, and all who dislike the detrimental effect when government threatens the freedom of “we the people.”
The Book has been self-published via Amazon and is available as eBook and Paperback - 380 pages - released in October 2017.

- "So pertinent to what is going on today in America, but not so political that you can't relate to the characters and get caught up in the emotion of the story.[...]" - Amazon Review

About the Author
Gary L Ivey wrote Backlash while living in Georgia but has since moved to the state of Hawaii to be near children and grandchildren.
He is originally from Oklahoma and has also lived in Texas, Mississippi and Alabama. His father worked as a middle manager in a large oil company for 31 years and received a pension check every month until his death in 2018. Though not claiming to be an expert, Ivey grew up learning more about the oil business and its place in the national economy than he even realized and without really trying.
His belief in the importance of the free market economy to the free people of the United States led him to write Backlash.
An entrepreneur himself, together with his wife of 45 years, he has owned a web development company for 20 years. Before that, he owned a video production business and before that worked as a magazine editor and pastor.
