Burning Doors
Renee N. Meland
Young Adult Dystopian
NOVEL DESCRIPTION:
Cain Foley committed his first
murder before he could even drive a car. Not that he would’ve had anywhere to
drive to. When he was fifteen, America was one of the poorest countries in the
world, and its’ citizens took their hatred of that fact out on each other
through gangs and violence. Children barely tall enough for carnival rides
peppered the streets selling drugs (or themselves) so they could buy their next
meal.
Every
night on the news, Cain watched as an angelic blonde woman who lost her own
child swore she’d end it. She assaulted America’s televisions with praise for
the Parental Morality Law: a set of rules that spells out exactly what it takes
to be a parent in the eyes of the government, and the consequences of breaking
those rules. He prayed every night that she’d come to rescue him before his
father took off his belt again.
Before
she could save him, Cain faced a fatal choice: fight back or die on the
basement floor.
He chose
life.
Now on
the run, he finds himself being hunted by a police officer with his own special
brand of torture. Before he can save even a handful of the children who have
been swept up in the gang life, he must first cover up not one, but two
murders: his father’s and one committed by a teenage madam who is either the
love of his life, or his final undoing. As he feels himself being pushed
further and further to the edge, he realizes that surviving his father was just
the beginning.
