The Adoration of Jenna Fox by Mary E. Pearson

The Adoration of Jenna Fox by Mary E. Pearson is about a 17 year old girl who just awoke from a year long coma and doesn't remember anything about her former life. Jenna Fox knows she was in an accident, knows she's supposed to call Claire 'mother' and knows that there are big secrets being kept from her. She's living with her mother and grandmother in a new house on the west coast while her father takes care of his business out east. For some reason, Jenna suspects her grandmother hates her, but doesn't know why. She's not allowed out of the house, not allowed to attend school... she's not even allowed to eat food - he has to take dietary supplements instead! Little by little, memories start coming back to Jenna, especially when she begins watching old home movies of herself. She also notices some small changes in her own appearance - different from what she sees on the videos. Jenna tries to investigate, and through a series of accidental discoveries comes to the realization that she is definitely not who she thought she was - what her parents did to save her after the accident was highly illegal and dangerous.

This was a great science fiction story! It really made me think about how far I would go to save my child. I loved the way the author unfolded the events. She kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time, wanting to know what happened. I felt a little like Jenna - in the dark about what was happening in a strange world, finding out bits and pieces as we went along.
