Freedom Rising - Hardcover

by S. L. West (Author), Alyssa May (Illustrator), Jacqueline Clotfelter (Editor)

The year is 94NE and the only absolute in this new world is the death of freedom. Peace is a memory and equality is an illusion to keep the Simpletons in their place. The elite class, also known as The Order, dictates the lives of the surviving people with what they call, The Life Program. Each day is meticulously scheduled and tracked through a microchip implanted at birth.

Samantha Wells is a damaged Simpleton, according to The Order's standards. If they knew her rebellious thoughts against the program, she would be dead. The only thing that has kept her going is a forgotten journal that she discovered years ago. If this secret was uncovered, it would bring death to her family.

As her eighteenth birthday approaches, Samantha is faced with another predetermined milestone in her Life Program; marriage. In a world where love and trust have been abandoned, can Samantha find the strength to carry on, or will her rebellious spirit awaken a courage to discover her true self?
