Bellwether Prize winner Hillary Jordan s provocative new novel,
"When She Woke," tells the story of a stigmatized woman struggling
to navigate an America of a not-too-distant future, where the line
between church and state has been eradicated and convicted felons
are no longer imprisoned and rehabilitated but chromed their skin
color is genetically altered to match the class of their crimes and
then released back into the population to survive as best they can.
Hannah is a Red; her crime is murder. In seeking a path to safety
in an alien and hostile world, Hannah unknowingly embarks on a path
of self-discovery that forces her to question the values she once
held true and the righteousness of a country that politicizes
faith."
