"Jordan blends hot button issues such as separation of church and state, abortion, and social criminal justice with an utterly engrossing story, driven by a heroin as layered and magnetic as Hester Prine herself"

-BOOKLIST

Hannah Payne's life has been devoted to church and family. But after she's convicted of murder, she awakens to a nightmarish new life. She finds herself laying on a table in a bare room, covered only by a paper gown, with cameras broadcasting her every move to millions at home, for whom observing new chromes criminals whose skin has been genetically altered to match the class of their crime it is a sinister form of entertainment. Hannah is a red for the murder of her unborn child, but she is determined to protect the identity of the father, a public figure with whom she shared a fierce and forbidden love.

A powerful reimagining of the Scarlet letter, when she woke is a timely fable about an American of the not too distant future, when the line between church and state has been eradicated. in this seeking a path to safety in an alien and hostile world, Hannah and knowingly embarks on a journey of self discovery that forces her to question the values she once held true at the righteousness of a company that politicizes faith and love.
