“I
surrender my days, my efforts, myself to the OneEarth Bank . . .”
After
fleeing slavery, Rielle James burns with the desire to topple OneEarth Bank and
end its enslavement of young people as Contracts. When she learns that her
friend Nathan has been sold to a logging company where Contracts die or vanish
without a trace, she assumes a false identity and becomes a slave again to help
him escape.
Her
act of subversion uncovers the horrific truth behind the OneEarth Bank’s role
in Contract disappearances and its link to a global pandemic.
Can
Rielle and Nathan escape and expose the truth before it’s too late?

"One
world. One currency. One bright future."
That's
the promise made by OneEarth Bank after a global economic collapse--but only
for those who accept the insertion of a commerce chip.
When
Rielle's parents refuse to comply, government officials tear her family apart.
As punishment for her parent's crimes, Rielle is forced into a Community
Service Contract--a legalized form of slavery--and sold to a wealthy, abusive
banker.
The
Banker's secrets hold the key to Rielle's freedom, but will she risk prison or
even death to escape and search for her family?
Melinda
Friesen was born in Portland, Oregon. She attended school in Texas and met a
vastly interesting Canadian man, who she allowed to drag her to his home in the
wilds of Manitoba, Canada. Living in an igloo wasn't easy. Wait. She didn't
actually live in an igloo, but that would make this story much more
interesting.
Among
her accomplishments are surviving -40 degree weather, gestating four human
being inside her body, and staying happily married to that Canadian man for
over 20 years despite the weather conditions he's exposed her to. And she
writes too!
Melinda
Friesen writes short stories and novels for teens. Enslavement, a YA
sci-fi/dystopian read, is her first published novel and the first book in the
One Bright Future series. Her work has appeared in Freefall Magazine, the Metro
News and the upcoming Forging Freedom II anthology. She was shortlisted in the
Writers' Village International novel contest, spring 2014. Her short stories
have placed in several contests including earning grand prize in the 2013
Central Canada Lit Fest short story contest.
