Chasing Liberty

Set in the not-so-distant future, CHASING LIBERTY is a dystopian story about Liberty, a young woman, in a society where faith, family, and freedom do not exist. The all-controlling government has elevated the earth above man. Science ensures that every baby born is healthy. The government ensures that every baby born is needed. All are cared for, taught, and given a specific duty to perform, their unique contribution to society. Liberty is slated to be a Breeder. Preceding her dreaded vocation, Liberty finds fulfillment caring for seniors in the retirement facility and has grown attached to several of them, especially Abby. As vocation day draws near, Liberty longs for freedom, but the high boundary fences and ID implants crush any thought of escape. When she is attacked by a man who obsesses over her then saved by a kind stranger, she discovers a secret, underground group that watches and rescues people who are unsatisfied with the government's ways. They've been watching her. She is a candidate for rescue.
