A spin off the unwind dystology by Neil Shusterman. If you don't know the series here's the summary of the first book. I started this on my first account, but I got locked out of that. So if you find an other story exactly like this, don't worry no one is breaking any copyright laws. (NOTE: I did not write this paragraph) In America after the Second Civil War, the Pro-Choice and Pro-Life armies came to an agreement: The Bill of Life states that human life may not be touched from the moment of conception until a child reaches the age of thirteen. Between the ages of thirteen and eighteen, however, a parent may choose to retroactively get rid of a child through a process called "unwinding." Unwinding ensures that the child's life doesn't "technically" end by transplanting all the organs in the child's body to various recipients. Now a common and accepted practice in society, troublesome or unwanted teens are able to easily be unwound. (This part I wrote) This story focuses on a 15 year old girl, Alexandra "Alex" Lumi Shea. She was that girl you saw walking down the hall and wished you were. She was popular, pretty, lived the perfect life, and was head cheerleader at West Monroe High School, not to mention when she sang it sounded like Heaven. Her Life was perfect..... until she finds out that her dad is not actually her dad.. Rachel finds out she is to be unwound a week before she's supposed to be taken away to a Harvest Camp. She has the natural reaction. She grabs some of her things, gets her bestie, Heather, and they take off.

*This is the spin-off to Runaway Bride. I recommend reading it before starting to read this one.* Locked in a small room with her mother since birth, Amanda quickly learned the dark side of life. Her mother Angela, chained by her ankle, was only able to walk around the small space. When the day came and they were freed, Amanda being 4 years old, her life turned upside-down. She had to learn to trust others, believe in them, put her life, emotion and heart on the line. She made so much progress with Emily, her psychologist of 12 years but she's having trouble with the next 'homework' Emily wants her to do, befriend Blake and learn to trust him. Being 20 years old and still only trusting her family and her only friend, Lisa, she doesn't know where to start. Sex doesn't need emotions and doesn't need for her heart to be involved. As for Blake, he'd seen Amanda for years without her giving him a glance. Working with her father as a mechanic, and her coming around now and then, made him curious about her. When they started sleeping together, he thought he had her but always waking up alone, he realized she had other things in mind. Amanda's finally an adult. What has become of her? Will she ever fully trust a man with her heart? Will she find happiness or will she continue to live her life being cold, heartless like some people call her?
