Can one person change the world?

My name’s Sunny Grace Beaumont. Branded SGB/2/6895/03.12.93. Only child, self-taught computer geek and cancer survivor. Oh, and did I mention my dad’s the President? As you can imagine that’s sometimes a little problematic, especially when I want to sneak out. But it never got me into quite as much trouble as the night I ventured into the Ghetto – don’t ask me why I was there in the first place… it was stupid. Everyone knows that the Ghetto is where hardened criminals are sent to live out the remainder of their lives. At first the men that kidnap me are just as I’d imagine, mean and thoughtless, but slowly I begin to have doubts.

I meet a guy. His name’s Sin, he has no Brand – a crime punishable by death – and he’s the rebel leader. I should hate him… but I don’t. Instead he opens my eyes to a whole other side of the Ghetto, where people are innocent of the crimes they’re accused of and helpless children suffer dreadful poverty. Is it possible that I’ve been lied to my entire life… that the governments been deceiving everyone? And how can I challenge the law my own dad is adamant to uphold?




A Word from the Author

Author M L Sparrow pictureGhetto began at a summer fair. I was manning a stall for the MS (Multiple Sclerosis) Society, when someone said to me, “Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a pill that could cure everything?” Those words stuck with me and eventually developed into the idea for All-Cure, which is a medical shot in Ghetto. As the name suggests, All-Cure can cure all ailments, from a scrapped knee to terminal cancer, which is what Sunny, our heroine, has suffered with her entire life, as did her mother before her.

All-Cure plays a pivotal role in Ghetto and that ladies comments all those years ago at an inconsequential village fair birthed this story.
