She was always the good girl, the one who followed the rules. Snatchers only take the people who have done wrong or are immoral to the law. Ruby only remembers that her best friend, Stella, has been taken. Her memories are gone, wiped. If that is the case, how does Ruby know she's done nothing wrong? In her fight for freedom, she learns that sometimes, it's necessary to break rules and that standing for what you believe in had rewards, but also risks. Dangerous, life-threatening, risks.
