A Hatchett Report Investigation . . . It's 2036, an age of global water conflict and controlled media. A blacklisted journalist finds herself at a perilous crossroads between her explosive past and the future of humanity. Truby Goodman is relocated to Americas Sector N3-24F, the defunct Old Faithful Inn in Wyoming, isolated with four companions she knows little about. Once one of Interpol's most wanted, she is now bound by a plea agreement not without consequences.
Goodman is haunted by the memories of a child she loves that is one of three Alpha Generation geniuses chosen to design a solution to end the international water crisis. The Global Security Council's WREN project soon becomes plagued by off-gridders who oppose it and a rogue darknet underground news outlet. When WREN is compromised during an opening ceremony live broadcast, the world is suddenly plunged into a global state of emergency.
Questioning the authenticity of media reports, Goodman risks revealing her true identity as she races to expose the greatest coup ever attempted. Confronting the impossible in search of redemption, one journalist will dare to rewrite human history--centuries in the making.

In this futuristic dystopian debut novel, Horner writes with unapologetic clarity as she dares you to explore the fluidity of identity, truth, and the resilience of the human mind, body, and spirit.

From the Inside Flap:

A spectacular debut novel about the rise and fall of a journalist disgraced with nothing left to lose--obsession, the hunger for truth and victory, an unstoppable spirit struggling to come to terms with the fallout of an explosive past the only way she knows how.
   When we meet Truby Goodman she is isolated with four companions she knows little about within the rich beauty of a closed national park. Attempting to rise out of obscurity while trapped in a plea deal, Truby finds solace and courage in the memories of the only person she has left in the world--one she is barred from contacting ever again.
   When a catastrophic event throws the world into chaos, Truby is compelled by guilt to risk everything to escape and investigate. She doesn't have to go far before she uncovers a global plot far more insidious and treacherous than she ever could have ever imagined.
   Attribution is a story of a courageous journey through personal triumphs and tragedies that are a reflection of all our hopes and fears as Truby seeks reconciliation and redemption within a paradoxical world.
