Summary:
They told us we were adopted, part of their tribal family. But I’m still not sure that we’ve escaped the Officials back home. I know that the tribe won’t let me leave this place, and I know that if I go home the City will kill me there.
My brother watches the dance hugging the leg of the woman who tells him she’s his mother. My sister, at least, remembers we are sisters. She knows I do not love the chief’s son.
Eamon holds my waist with strong hands as we dance, and the chief looks on in approval. I think of Lazaro. I think of my kiss with Lazaro, and I see him in the crowd. I meet his eyes with shame.
The crowd is ready to cheer and clap. My wedding is almost over.

Hey I finished it and it was really good.
I liked how there was this kind of twist were you aren't sure who's the bad guy. Then the whole thing about the society's laws about no outsiders. It's just cool.
Keep writing because I'm sure we're all waiting for the end and we all would rather have it sooner then later.
Rock on!
oh, and i forgot to say i love how almost all the chapters are named after colors. i got caught in the story, i felt like i knew all the characters right away. And it was cool how instead of starting the story with a huge introduction, you just started the scene.
Ok, NOW I'm officially done with my feedback :)
i'll be sure to buy this book in barnes and noble!! ;)
Hi Emily. Thanks so much for asking me to read your story!! i enjoyed reading every chapter. You have excellent writing skills, i tell you. Of all the nice novels i imagine on the shelves of bookstores, this one would fit right in. The words weave together so beautifully. You say so much in so little words. The story.........how it was written........when i read the summary i knew it was going to be a good story. This is authentic sci fi right here. I'm enchanted, impressed. WOW *rubs eyes in amazement* just wow.
i don't even think my feedback comment can fully say everything i think about this story right now.
Dear EGRAM
Yesterday, I reread the first 8 chapters of your story and then read your latest chapters. Your latest chapters are as outstanding as the first 8. Your characters have life and involve the reader with their problems and feelings. I can't wait to read more. This book should certainly be published!
