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.

Signed by author in medium point black felt tip pen on the title page above her printed name, and legible dated ("28 Nov 2011") just beneath her written name; done in my presence at Left Bank Books on Euclid Avenue in Saint Louis on Monday, November 28, 2011, after a 7 PM reading from this book and a brief question & answer session, attended by only 7 individuals. Booklist starred review: "An overtly dystopian take on The "Scarlet Letter", Jordan's second novel grabs readers from the moment Hannah Payne wakes up in the Chrome ward, having been injected with a virus to turn her skin red. Jordan blends hot-button issues such as the separation of church and state, abortion, and criminal justice with an utterly engrossing story, driven by a heroine as layered and magnetic as Hester Prynne herself . . . Absolutely a must-read.". Signed by Author(s). Seller Inventory # BMR-2021-1-29-3
