I’m very excited to announce that my upcoming novel, Wild Children (to be released under my pen name, Hannah Ross) is now available for pre-order in both print and Kindle formats. Official release date is April 28-th.
It has been quite a journey with this book. I was pregnant with Israel when I first began writing it, and now he’s two years old! I’ve also completed the first rough draft of the sequel and began outlining the third book, so there’s plenty to look forward to.
From the description:
In a post-war world, where reproduction is strictly controlled and transgressions severely punished, they are society’s rejects. Unwanted and unloved, they are raised in an orphanage until age twelve, then taken beyond the Boundary and left to fend for themselves, to survive or perish.
One child was different, though he didn’t know it. He was wanted, he was loved, and he was hidden for three months. But reason prevailed. A third child meant a lifetime of concealment, a lifetime of fear and loneliness, and discovery would mean social and financial ruin for his parents and siblings, so one rainy night, his mother did what she must. As her heart broke, she walked up the path to the orphanage and surrendered him.
Wild Children is a story of abandonment and survival, of hope and determination, and of a love that refused to die.

Oh, my! I wonder how many other folks looked at your heading and thought it was possible to adopt “wild” children? Or maybe, get rid of the wild ones we have, in the hopes that somebody else might want them.

Karen, the book focuses on one boy born in defiance of reproductive restrictions. As an “illegal”, he is forcibly raised in an orphanage and then sent away. From the description:
