Chilling submitted by cjkoho on July 25, 2014, 3:03pm A chilling story set in a distopian world where criminals are branded with a color according to the nature of their crimes. Jordan has a unique voice and a way of making the reader feel a part of the story very quickly. I've passed this one on to all of my feminist friends. Very powerful.
