In the not-too-distant future, in a restrictive, fundamentalist Christian America, Hannah awakens, in detention, to find herself a “chrome”. She has been forcibly injected with a virus that makes her skin red. She is sentenced to 16 years as a chrome for having an abortion which society considers murder. The entire story is about Hannah’s awakening from a sheep to a thinking, questioning, individual. Good book somewhat reminiscent of the Handmaid’s Tale.
