Do you ever wish you had never been born? Do you wonder if your parents wish you had never been born. Connor's parents had to wait until he turned 13 to decide if they would have him unwound or not.
Because of the Second Civil War, a new law banning abortions, but legalizing having your children unwound, was passed. From the time you turn 13 to your 18th birthday, your parents can have you sent to be unwound. Your body parts can be used for medical purposes or maybe your parents decide to keep you around. What if they couldn't afford to feed everyone in your family? What if you kept getting in trouble?
Connor may always be in trouble, but he believes he as a right to live. He believes he can escape and live on the run for two years until he turns 18. The alternative is unthinkable.
This was an awesome book! The ending was NOT what I expected.
