WHEN SHE WOKE by Hillary Jordan

Set in the near future of Texas, Hannah's life centers on her family and her church.  But she loses everything when she has an affair with her minister, becomes pregnant, and has an abortion even though all abortions are illegal at this time.  When her abortion is discovered, she becomes a "chrome", sentenced to undergo a medical procedure that gentically turns her skin red.  That way, when she is returned to society, everyone who sees her will know her crime.  After she escapes a "rehabilitation" center, she finds herself depending on a revolutionary group trying to help all chromes.

The many parallels to THE SCARLET LETTER are obvious, making this book an intriguing pairing with that classic novel.  Contemporary issues abound, including abortion, religion, politics, homosexuality, crime & punishment, etc.
