In two weeks her vocation begins. She must find a way out. Liberty 554-062466-84 of Aldonia grew up knowing that one day she, along with every member of society, must contribute to the greater good. She's been measured, tested, and examined all her life, and now they've matched her to a vocation. They want her attributes-intelligence, beauty, health-to pass on to the next generation. Life begins in the laboratory, making the family obsolete. Using top specimens, scientists create and implant only the best into the fittest women. Every girl in Aldonia wishes she had this vocation because of the alleged bonuses and privileges that come with it. But Liberty does not want to be a Breeder. As the day draws near, Liberty is attacked. She's about to lose consciousness when someone rescues her. She wakes in an underground facility, discovering a secret group that watches over Aldonia. Before they return her to society, she witnesses the rescue of a man scheduled for government re-education. They rescued him. They can rescue her. Set in the not-so-distant future, Chasing Liberty is a young adult novel about a woman who wants to direct her own life, instead of having it controlled by the government. This novel explores the loss the individual faces when government is allowed to grow too big and reach too far. The traditional family is nonexistent. Human life loses value. The earth is elevated above man.

Autorenporträt
Theresa Linden has been writing stories since grade school. Her father was in the Coast Guard, so she grew up near the ocean, living in California, the tiny island of Guam, and Oahu (one of the Hawaiian Islands). Moving from place to place left her with the impression that life is an adventure. She has since learned that a life of faith brings the greatest adventures of all. So now she loves to bring the Catholic faith to life through adventurous stories. She has books for children, teens, and adults. Three of her books won awards from the Catholic Press Association. She is a member of CatholicTeenBooks.com and the Catholic Writers Guild. Her books are featured on Catholic Reads, Catholic Mom and Daughter, and Virtue Works Media. A wife, homeschooling mom, and Secular Franciscan, she resides in northeast Ohio with her family.
