One Of Us - 9780762457991

When fifteen-year-old K narrowly survives a bomb attack just as she is about to step into a subway car, she thinks it is just one more bad happenstance in a lifetime of worse ones. The news blames a radical insurgent organization called the Brotherhood, which, unsurprisingly, is the same group that killed her parents. As a product of the system, K's survival has depended on her ability to keep her emotions at a distance from her actions. But when a young, charming police officer tells her that she could be a part of something important where she will have a place and people to call her own, K is tempted to agree. The dangerous trick is first she will have to infiltrate and assimilate into the Brotherhood as a spy. Double crosses, paranoia, and unrest barrel toward a thrilling and unavoidable collision of worlds where K must rely on the one thing that she has become an expert at hidingher true self. Debut novelist Jeannie Waudby deftly underscores the complexities of violence, blame, and unmitigated belief, drawing keen parallels to the politically charged reality of today. [Excerpt:] "A trapdoor below me has opened, and I need to shut it again before I fall in forever."
