Drought
Pam Bachorz
Publisher: Egmont USA
To be released: January 11,
2011
Summary (from Goodreads):
Ruby Prosser dreams of escaping the Congregation and the
early-nineteenth century lifestyle that’s been practiced since the community
was first enslaved.
She plots to escape the vicious Darwin West, his cruel
Overseers, and the daily struggle to gather the life-prolonging Water that
keeps the Congregants alive and gives Darwin his wealth and power. But if Ruby
leaves, the Congregation will die without the secret ingredient that makes the
Water special: her blood.
So she stays.
But when Ruby meets Ford, the new Overseer who seems barely
older than herself, her desire for freedom is too strong. He’s sympathetic,
irresistible, forbidden—and her only access to the modern world. Escape with
Ford would be so simple, but can Ruby risk the terrible price, dooming the only
world she’s ever known?
First
off, I want to say that I love this cover! It’s so pretty. The focus on eyes is
a new trend in YA covers.
I
cannot wait to read Pam Bachorz’s second novel, Drought. I loved Candor her
first novel and have been awaiting her second novel. The story sounds
fascinating and unique.
Waiting on Wednesday is a
weekly event highlighting exciting upcoming releases. It is hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.
