My Soul To Keep

A single text message on a random Tuesday morning thrusts Jill Weston into the end of America. Conscripted into the ranks of the specialized programmed elite, Jill wanders the militarized college campus in the affluent suburbs of Louisville where she is stationed, shielded from the horror outside its brick walls. But Jill harbors the fact that her programming is faulty, functioning enough to prevent detection but incapable of fully immersing Jill into the blissful facade of a college co-ed. Risking detection in the search for her brother feared dead, Jill struggles to maintain her ruse while simultaneously forging relationships with her comrades. Can anyone be trusted in a world that is ruled by the combined Chinese and Russian governments? As the country adjusts to the new regime and rumors of resistance swell, Jill begins to suspect that she may not be alone in her programming glitches and that any conversation could result in discovery.
