Fearless

It is a fictional story about a brave little girl who fights against a system of control.  She is abducted at night and is placed in a government controlled institution called the "City Community Faith School for Retraining, Opportunity and Hope."
She is one of a thousand other little girls, who are stripped of any personality or identity by being dressed in drab grey, heads are shaved and they are assigned a number and a letter and denied any contact with the outside world or family.  They are subjugated to mind numbing work for the benefit of adults in the city laundry.
Fearless as the name implies has the audacity to question the Controller "Why they had to work so hard when they were only children, and why they were locked up when most of them had done nothing wrong."  Her belief is that if she is able to contact her parents and if the adults knew of the situation they would come to the  
rescue?
