DAC Giveaway: Article 5 by Kristen Simmons
Welcome to anotherDAC GIVEAWAY!!! Please Note: DAC Giveaway are for participants of the 2012 Debut Author Challenge ONLY! If you are a regular reader of the blog, but not participating in the challenge, I apologize but this giveaway is not open to you! (Don’t be sad I’ll still have plenty of giveaways for non-DAC participants too!)
For those of you participating in the DAC (that means you signed up and have your blog, Goodreads, or Youtube Channel listed here) I hoped you enjoy this wonderful DEBUT THEMED giveaway!
New York, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C., have been abandoned.
The Bill of Rights has been revoked, and replaced with the Moral Statutes.
There are no more police—instead, there are soldiers. There are no more fines for bad behavior—instead, there are arrests, trials, and maybe worse. People who get arrested usually don’t come back.
Seventeen-year-old Ember Miller is old enough to remember that things weren’t always this way. Living with her rebellious single mother, it’s hard for her to forget that people weren’t always arrested for reading the wrong books or staying out after dark. It’s hard to forget that life in the United States used to be different.
Ember has perfected the art of keeping a low profile. She knows how to get the things she needs, like food stamps and hand-me-down clothes, and how to pass the random home inspections by the military. Her life is as close to peaceful as circumstances allow.
That is, until her mother is arrested for noncompliance with Article 5 of the Moral Statutes. And one of the arresting officers is none other than Chase Jennings…the only boy Ember has ever loved.

Oooh! I saw this book on the DAC 2012 list but never bothered to check it out. Now, I’m glad I had the opportunity to read the synopsis, because it sounds good! Every other book is several decades or centuries after a major disaster/event, but this sounds like it – whatever happened – is fairly recent. Can’t wait to read the book to find out what happens
Thanks for another great Giveaway, Kristi!
