The Child Thief Bella Forrest

In a world where we have government of the rich by the rich for the rich … one girl decides to fight back .
America in 2105 is beset with mass inequality , poverty and increasingly large numbers of the poor . This , combined with the breakdown of families and marriages has led to huge economic and societal burdens . A fractured and divided America ushers in an authoritarian government that promises to solve all these problems in one stroke with a radical solution .
Welcome to the CRAS : the Child Redistribution Adoption System . Also known as the cure for America ’ s failing economy … and the bane of nineteen-year-old Robin Sylvone ’ s existence .
Under the System , not all parents can expect to keep the children they bring into the world : families who are not self-sustaining have their children taken and given to the rich .
And as a single teen mother , Robin fell within the scope of the scheme and lost her baby two years ago .
After being forced to drop out of school and become a factory worker in order to support herself , she doesn ’ t see much light in her future — or hold any hope of seeing her child again .
Until she stumbles upon a group of misfits who share her frustrations and desire for change . An underground movement that operates in some rather clever yet unconventional ways …
By day they still call me Robin Sylvone . Factory worker and upper class reject . But now , by night , they call me Robin Hood …
Brimming with action , mystery and romance , fans of The Gender Game , The Handmaid ’ s Tale or The Hunger Games will be gripped by this imaginative thrill-ride through a chillingly warped America . New Release
