She Dreams of Me (The Children of Clay)
by Ono Ekeh
Amanda Sanchez is a 19-year old, Class Three citizen, who lives in the Polis, a thousand-year-old underground human colony. The Polis is thought to be the only surviving human society, the last remnant of The Destruction, a nuclear war spurred by religious factions.
The Polis has survived and thrived only because it has been strict about enforcing a no-faith rule. Anyone found to hold faith is banished to the irradiated surface to die. Amanda has faith and her secret might just spell trouble, not just for her, but for her boyfriend and her best friend.
But when Amanda stumbles into a dark truth about the Polis, she realizes that her city is not so perfect after all. Even worse, the Polis is running out of resources and may not make it another thousand years. To save her beloved city, Amanda's secret must be revealed, endangering the lives of everyone she loves.
