"Wonderfully developed, damaged protagonists alongside a slew of amazing supporting characters, all of them struggling to survive and ultimately escape their bleak lives in a deprived coal town in the mountains of West Virginia. Love, friendship, family and loyalty are probably the prevailing themes in this book, and Vroman handled it so well without drifting off into clichés or sobstuff.
While I loved both Free and Cole and their sweet budding romance, it was Free's precious relationship with her little brother that really got to me and moved me most, and how she was willing to sacrifice everything for him. I'm not too proud to admit that it made me shed quite a few tears." —Annika, Amazon Review

📖What do YOU love about stories?📖
.
I've been reading The Emotional Craft of Fiction by Donald Maass (which is FABULOUS, btw, and oops I spelled his name wrong on the pic!) and this quote gave me all the feels. Stories have been essential since the dawn of time. They convey culture and belief and tradition. They unite communities. They teach lessons. They inspire love, hope, imagination, yearning, and compassion. That's why I think authors, editors, book bloggers, bookstagramers, and readers are the very best types of people. We're the purveyors of empathy and understanding. We open eyes and share world views. We show people what they can become and inspire them to get there. 📚What's the last book that inspired you or changed your worldview? 📚

"a clever cliffhanger that had me gasping…literally I gasped!" Daughter 4254 review and lovely photo by @theplumreport 💛📚💛 Thank you so much for reading and reviewing!!!
.
Daughter4254 used to think life in a community where art, music and names are outlawed would suffocate her creative spirit until she is left to rot in prison and realizes there is far worse.
Then she meets Thomas, a fellow inmate, who tells stories of the mythical mountain colonies where people have names and the arts thrive, and she finds a shred of hope. Together they plot an escape, knowing they'll die if they fail. Or worse, their consciousness will be taken by the MindWipe, leaving their bodies free for government use.
When nothing goes as planned, Daughter4254 must choose between using her mother's secrets of the rebellion to better the world she hates and following Thomas to the quiet life of freedom she has always craved.
