![]() Ember tries to help her free-spirited single mother fly under the radar too, but she is devastated when her mother is arrested for violating Article 5 of the statutes, which stipulates that children can only be conceived by a legally married man and woman. The Bill of Rights has been replaced by the Moral Statutes, a strict code that governs everything from what people are allowed to read to sexual practices. The book opens with Ember Miller trying to blend in and avoid attracting attention to herself, as she has done since the war ended and the country was overtaken by an ultra-conservative government. She receives unexpected help from Chase Jennings, her former boyfriend who now is a member of the hated military, and along the way she learns about the factors that have caused such a drastic change in him. Article 5, by Kristen Simmons, tells the story of Ember Miller, a 17-year-old girl who fights to save her mother when she is arrested for violating a section of the Moral Statutes that now govern the United States. ![]()
