About the Book
"Orphans Evade The Authorities is a sweeping, fast-moving speculative fiction novel about the price of resistance, the stubbornness of love, and what teens are capable of when the adults around them fail to rise to the moment. Written for readers aged 15 to adult, it is the kind of story that begins on page one and does not let go."
