A chilling near-future dystopia for fans of The Handmaid's Tale and The Road.ANNA IS NOT HER NAME Anna is a possession. She is owned by the man named Will, shielded from a struggling world by his care. Anna is obedient, dutiful, and compliant. When Anna finds the strength to run, she leaves her name behind. But in her new idyllic town, the past--and Will--catch up with her. Carrying a child and a dark secret, she must face the scars he gave her--and learn to be everything Anna was not.
ANNA by Sammy H.K. Smith
A futuristic, dystopian novel of the failure of society as we know it today. Women and others are routinely captured and kept as slaves, branded, and abused for the sadistic pleasure of their owners.
Anna has managed to survive in the broken world by following strict guidelines, never trusting anyone, and staying to herself. Her world changes when she is captured by Will. He is a psychopath who wants to control her every movement. Very hard to adjust, when you are used to being on your own.
Trigger warnings: Rape and abuse.
This is not a romantic novel. This is a novel about survival.
Highly recommend.
