My teasers this week:
"When she woke, she was red. Not flushed, not sunburned, but the solid, declarative red of a stop sign." p. 1
"For the first twenty-six years she'd been alive, her hands had been a honey-toned pink, deepening to golden brown in the summertime. Now, they were the color of newly shed blood." p.1
"During her teens she was always getting into trouble over one thing or another: trying on lip gloss, doing forbidden searches on her port, reading books her parents considered corrupting. Most often though, it was for voicing the questions that cropped up so insistently in her mind; 'Why is it immodest for girls not to wear shirts but not for boys?' 'Why does God let innocent people suffer?' 'If Jesus turned water into wine, why is it wrong for people to drink it?' These questions exasperated her parents, especially her mother, who would make her sit in silence for hours and reflect on her presumption." p.14
When She Woke by Hillary Jordan
Description from the book:
Hannah Payne's life has been devoted to church and family. But after she's convicted of murder, she awakens in a new body to a nightmarish new life. She finds herself lying 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 color has been genetically altered to match the class of their crime--is a sinister form of entertainment. Hannah is a Red for the crime of murder. The victim, says the State of Texas, was her unborn child, and Hannah is determined to protect the identity of the father, a public figure with whom she shared a fierce and forbidden love.
