The'real Jan 6th story' involves a mob of supporters of the then - President Trump who were incited by false claims of election fraud. They forced their way into the Capitol. This led to chaos, destruction, and a significant disruption of the peaceful transfer of power, which is a cornerstone of American democracy.
I don't know who Jan French is in this new story without more details. She could be the protagonist, a side character, or someone who is just mentioned in passing.
I'm not sure which is the absolute latest Jan Karon novel as of now. You can check major book retailers like Amazon or Barnes & Noble. They usually keep up - to - date with the newest releases.
