Hannah Payne awakens to a nightmare. She is lying on a table in a bare room, covered only by a paper gown, with cameras broadcasting her every move to millions at home. She is now a convicted criminal, and her skin color has been genetically altered. Her crime, according to the State of Texas: the murder of her unborn child, whose father she refuses to name. Her color: red. The color of newly shed blood.
In Hannah's America, sometime in the future, faith, love, and sexuality have fallen prey to politics. Convicted felons are no longer imprisoned and rehabilitated, but "chromed", forced to appear in a new and sinister form of reality TV, and released back into the population. Stigmatized in a hostile world, they must survive the best they can.
Until her arrest, Hannah had devoted her life to church and family. In seeking a path to safety, she is forced to question the values she once held true and the righteousness of a country that politicizes the personal.

I'd read some reviews that were unfavorable about this book and they didn't hold true. Every minute of this book was captivating. Sometimes it takes me a while to get sucked into a book. This book had me from the start. If your open minded this book is easy read. If your ultra religious this book will offend you as it will challenge you too see things another way, to have compassion for mankind instead of only hold fast to rigid, unbending rules. This book is about love and acceptance.Good enough to read twice!
