Deviations - Paperback

by Crystal C. Johnson (Author)

"People don't just create diseases to wipe out nations," I argue. "The bubonic plague, typhoid fever, smallpox, the bird flu-would you like me to continue?" His voice rises as if he's determined to make me understand, "They're created in labs, then given to people to see who is strong enough to survive them. They're trying to limit the amount of people in the world." I watch him stand and turn for the door. "There's a lot about your parents that you don't know and the sooner you realize that, the sooner you can start doing something about it." About Deviations From the day we're born, we're introduced to the marvels of modern medicine. It is amazing how a simple vaccine can prevent polio, hepatitis B, rotavirus-the list is almost endless. But, what if that were no longer the case? What if the government unleashed each virus for the sole purpose of controlling the population? Henly Sawyer finds herself discovering this truth for the first time, and as she does, the world that she thought she knew shatters. She wakes in Aurora, a quarantine miles from home, and is forced into a grueling reality. Henly strives to piece together the truth about her parents and their involvement in the unfolding chaos. With the help of her new friends, Renner and Dex, Henly sets out to understand a world that is now filled with Deviations-an infected group of violent, murderous humans.

Author Biography

I'm an avid pinner, impatient reader, determined writer, and currently trying to survive motherhood. I have a strange addiction to Root Beer and Spanish Soaps. I was born in a small town in Northern Nevada where I grew to love and appreciate the written word. If I could I would spend my entire day locked in a closet with a flashlight if that meant I could read a book from start to finish. But lets get serious... I graduated from BYU-I with a BA Degree in Political Science and a minor in English. Along the way I acquired a pretty amazing husband who has helped me create and realize so many dreams. Who knows how many times he's reminded me that I need to sleep to continue living. I also have a baby boy who fits perfectly with his name Cash. Right now I reside in Canada and besides the rainy month (June) I love it.
