Biography

Pam Bachorz grew up in a small town in the Adirondack foothills, where she participated in every possible performance group and assiduously avoided any threat of athletic activity, unless it involved wearing sequined headpieces and treading water.

Pam draws inspiration from the places she knows best: she wrote CANDOR while living in a Florida planned community, and set DROUGHT in the woods where she spent her summers as a child. She and her family currently live near Washington, DC. When she's not writing, reading, working or parenting, Pam likes to go to museums and theater performances, and watch far too much television.

As far as she knows, Pam has never been brainwashed. Or maybe that's just what she's supposed to say.

My Review:
Ok so this book was really good. I wasn't to happy about the ending I think it could have had more. But It was good. The story was very addicting as I finished this book in one day. The book follows a girl named Ruby who has been a slave for around 200 year. It is set in the year of 2012 and it is a very thrilling story of what would you do for freedom? and what wouldn't you do for love?

The book is very religions and it shows the many issues that being dedicated to your religion can take you. As would you allow people to treat you badly just because your god left and you think that you are supposed to wait and endure. It takes you to the brink of what wouldn't you for freedom and what would you risk for love??

It is not a christen religious story just so you know. Their god is Otto who left Ruby's mother over 200 years ago. His blood and the water they collect is the staple of their lives.

All in all it was a wonderful book. It has a very good ending but I wish they would have done more. I think it would be an awesome series. And I could see it as a made for tv mini series.
