It's time to Make America Talk Again.

America has never had more ways to “connect,” yet we’ve never been more divided, lonely, and silent. Civil discourse—once the lifeblood of democracy—has been replaced by a fear of losing friends and family, being ridiculed on social media, getting swatted by anonymous callers, or losing your job, all because of words you spoke. 

But silence is not safety. Silence is surrender.

At nineteen years old, Brilyn Hollyhand has already seen how dangerous this culture of silence can be. Make America Talk Again is a roadmap and a declaration. We must look to the past to learn from history, so we can confidently move forward knowing that we are not doomed to repeat our mistakes. We must declare that there is a better way to live. To do this, we must Make America Talk Again. 

Each chapter describes a facet of culture and the problems therein. To solve the problem, we must understand it correctly, which means acknowledging how we got here, assessing whether it is worth fighting to overcome the problem, and agreeing on a solution. Hollyhand's prescription for each solution is to grow the reader’s heart and mind by inspiring them with the wisdom of Ronald Reagan (the great communicator), who pointed us all to the courage and intellect of our founding fathers, who remarkably pointed us to the word of God.

The goal is to encourage grandparents, parents, and young voters to take action before it’s too late. This won’t happen in Congress; it will happen in cafeterias, churches, and dinner tables, one conversation at a time.

America is on the brink of cultural fracture because we’ve stopped talking. Hollyhand's story—that of a Gen Z kid who dared to speak from a bedroom microphone and ended up working for President Donald Trump—is living proof that one voice can spark a movement. This isn’t just a book. It’s a rallying cry for a generation that refuses to stay silent.
