White Ribbon
Summary:
They told us we were adopted, part of their tribal family. But I’m still not sure that we’ve escaped the Officials back home. I know that the tribe won’t let me leave this place, and I know that if I go home the City will kill me there.
My brother watches the dance hugging the leg of the woman who tells him she’s his mother. My sister, at least, remembers we are sisters. She knows I do not love the chief’s son.
Eamon holds my waist with strong hands as we dance, and the chief looks on in approval. I think of Lazaro. I think of my kiss with Lazaro, and I see him in the crowd. I meet his eyes with shame.
The crowd is ready to cheer and clap. My wedding is almost over.

Wow! This is really good! You got my attention from the very beginning, when you explained that Ori has a "sense", for a lack of better word. And then you have a scene where both parents die. You have a great start- and I just finished chapter 1.
Great job! I'll definitely continue reading.
This is amazing!! It seems like you have this really well thought out and that you know exactly where you are going with this! It's kind of dark but in a good way and it leaves you wanting more!
I could totally see this being a published book...I would definitley buy it!
The ribbon thing is really cool... I can't wait to figure out what all the different colors symbolize!
I also want to learn more about the tribe. This is such a cool and suspensful story! I can't wait to figure out what will happen next!

well, this is one of those "oh my goodness" stories. It's really well thought out, and the more I read the more I like.
I think the romantic part is really nice, and the almost kind of secrecy behind everything is cool too.
I haven't finished yet (becuase of that evil thing called school) but I can't wait to read more.
