In two weeks her vocation begins. She must find a way out. Liberty 554-062466-84 of Aldonia grew up knowing that one day she, along with every member of society, must contribute to the greater good. She's been measured, tested, and examined all her life, and now they've matched her to a vocation. They want her attributes—intelligence, beauty, health—to pass on to the next generation. Life begins in the laboratory, making the family obsolete. Using top specimens, scientists create and implant only the best into the fittest women. Every girl in Aldonia wishes she had this vocation because of the alleged bonuses and privileges that come with it. But Liberty does not want to be a Breeder. As the day draws near, Liberty is attacked. She's about to lose consciousness when someone rescues her. She wakes in an underground facility, discovering a secret group that watches over Aldonia. Before they return her to society, she witnesses the rescue of a man scheduled for government re-education. They rescued him. They can rescue her. Set in the not-so-distant future, Chasing Liberty is a novel about a woman who wants to direct her own life, instead of having it controlled by the government. This novel explores the loss the individual faces when government is allowed to grow too big and reach too far. The traditional family is nonexistent. Human life loses value. The earth is elevated above man.

She must escape and repair the damage she's done. Liberty 554-062466-84 of Aldonia bides her time in a tiny cell, plotting her escape from the re-educational facility. Her crime: not accepting her government-assigned vocation. But the punishment extends to more than just herself. The once-secret colony that offered her freedom has been exposed and its members placed in government facilities for re-education and integration into society. Dedrick, a member of the Mosheh, a secret group that opposes the government, grieves for his family who are now residents of the government's facilities. Although he has promised obedience to the Mosheh, when he learns of Liberty's escape from re-education and how she's fallen into the wrong hands, he finds himself compelled to rescue her and pursues it without permission. Now free, Liberty wants to rescue the colonists from the three separate facilities that hold the children, teens, and adults. But she must avoid her pursuers, and Dedrick seems reluctant to work with her. Set in the not-so-distant future, Testing Liberty is book two in the young adult Liberty trilogy. Moving from one trial to another, this story follows Liberty to her final sacrifice as she learns that true freedom is within, cannot be taken away, and is worth fighting for.
