And do we judge people on their pasts or their presents?” The question the novel asks is whether true forgiveness can ever be achieved. “In our social media / insta-news world, we can often make snap judgements in the court of public opinion about a person, often times on the worst day of their lives. “At the heart of this story is an exploration of forgiveness and redemption,” says Arnold. But when a senator, accused of a horrible crime, is imprisoned under this new system, she will have to face a bizarre and frightening reality, unlike anything she can imagine. When a new law declares that convicted criminals should be cryogenically frozen instead of jailed, society thinks it has found a more humane way to deal with inmates.
