In the Rose Garden of the White House, a spider spins silk-and the nation takes notice.
When a cryptic message appears overnight in a spiderweb outside the Oval Office, no one expects it to dominate headlines, hijack the Sunday shows, and unravel a presidency. But Charlotte, a seemingly ordinary garden spider, isn’t weaving for insects-she’s weaving for impact.
As public fascination grows, President Donald Penwick flails for control, his staff scrambles to contain the narrative, and the First Lady returns from a diplomatic trip to find herself at the center of a movement she didn’t ask to lead. With each new dawn, Charlotte’s web reveals a message more searing than the last, leaving the nation-and its leaders-enthralled, enraged, and increasingly unsure of who’s really in charge.
A sharp, sly fable for the modern age, Charlotte’s Truth skewers politics, ego, media frenzy, and the delicate threads that hold power together. In just a few thousand words, it delivers a full-scale takedown of spin culture-with eight legs and no apologies.
