Engrossing story from the very first page, a mix of the Scarlet Letter and something from the future.
This story will give you a lot to think about in the way we treat people, how our views and religion can shape, help and hinder people, and how to find strength in who you are.
Lots of current issues are happening in this story. Very engaging.

This book starts out great and keeps your interest through the entire book. Follows the Scarlet Letter in a futuristic sense. It's the kind of book that makes you think about what the future could be like.

Whoa! This book was much better than I thought it would be. I didn't have any particular expectations going into it, and it did start out a bit slow for me, but it picked up approx. 100 pages in. I'm so glad I stuck with it. This book explores governmental control, faith, crime and punishment, and personal freedom.

When She Woke is a journey for the main character as she wakes up to her life and discovers who she wants to be.
