By Lynette M. Burrows
Miranda has three days until she must surrender control of her own life forever.
In 1961 Fellowship America, obedience isn’t just expected—it’s enforced by law. Unable to bear the weight of that future, Miranda makes a desperate choice.
She escapes. Sheds her old identity. Searches for the life she wants. But freedom comes at a brutal price.
The Fellowship’s merciless enforcers—the “Angels of Death”—hunt her through a world more dangerous than she imagined. Each step toward freedom unravels another lie about her past, her family, her nation.
When she meets a fierce rebel fighter who might hold the key to her survival, Miranda refuses to back down. She’ll risk everything to prove herself worthy of training—even if it means facing the Angels of Death alone.
Now Miranda faces an impossible choice: retreat to the suffocating safety of her old life, or join a resistance that could cost her not just her independence, but her family, her future, and possibly her life.
My Soul to Keep is a powerful exploration of resilience, identity, and the courage to chart your own path in a world determined to dictate your destiny. In a world where conformity means survival, what would you sacrifice to keep your soul?

“An exciting adventure story, a powerful alternate history, and a multi-layered story of personal growth. Miranda sacrifices a life of privilege to rebel against social constraints and to understand painful personal mysteries about her life, revealed only by flashes of memory and confused dreams. As she fights back against the restrictions and hypocrisy of society, she also discovers the secrets of her life and her family, and chooses the values that will drive her actions—and she refuses to ‘print the legend.’”~ William F. Wu, author of Wong’s Lost and Found Emporium, Hong on the Range, and many others.
