Dystopian Thanksgiving
In the version of the United States ruled by the Office of Civilian Safety and Defense, the food supply is controlled by the government and strictly regulated. Food-centric holidays like Thanksgiving are a thing of the past. Tommy and Careen have taken refuge at the headquarters of the Resistance, a motley group of freedom fighters working to overthrow the totalitarian regime. They trade for food on the black market to cobble together a festive meal. It's the first time Careen has felt the comfort of family--dysfunctional as it may be--she's thankful.
Book Excerpt
Resist: A YA Dystopian Thriller
Careen spent the afternoon in the kitchen with Jaycee and Lara, who had reluctantly agreed to serve pork chops with her bread stuffing. As the supper hour approached, the aroma of onions and celery hung in the air, and everyone inhaled appreciatively as they gathered in the diner. Careen found comfort in the familiarity of David and Grace’s bickering, and in chatting with Jaycee and Lara as they finished preparing the meal. She felt a surge of affection for her makeshift family, and when Tommy walked in, she came out from behind the counter to greet him with a kiss and a lingering embrace.
