Gesticulations

by Shona Bradbury

One hundred and fifty-two years after natural disasters wreaked havoc on both coasts, Americans have migrated inward. Small shops and tiny apartments are awarded based on one’s occupational status set forth by the American Sustainability Act. Bioware implants make life easier for many by providing convenient methods of communication, entertainment, health tracking applications, as well as complete memory recall. Dr. Mason Mehta is an Anamnesis Specialist at Laclede’s Landing in St. Louis. He helps his patients process their recorded memories, both good and bad. He must also act as a conduit to the Authorities to report acts of abuse shared within his sessions. Estile Gibson works on the Gibson family farm in Summerfield, IL. She is a Naturalist who does not use or even approve of technology like the bioware implants. An unlikely whirlwind romance between Mason and Estile is interrupted when Mason is viciously attacked by a murderess on the run. The Authorities want Estile to assist the investigation by receiving a bioware implant. Can she go against her beliefs to find justice for Mason?

I really enjoyed this book! I had a bit of time on an airplane and away from the kids for a weekend and this was the perfect read. I enjoyed the setting and really liked the characters. I am now officially waiting for a sequel - I need to know what happens next!
