Title:  When She Woke


Genre:  Dystopian


Published:  October 4, 2011



“One by one, she conjured all the boxes she'd been put into: The good girl box and the good Christian box...the mistress box...the bad daughter and fallen woman boxes...She saw with a painful blaze of clarity that every one of these boxes had been of her own making, either by consent or lack of resistance. She had no right to bitterness; she had put herself in them. And she would get herself out, she vowed. And once she was out, she'd never willingly climb into another box again.”

      I'm not sure what page it is on (it was a library book so I don't have it anymore), but I think it is towards the end.
