When young women come of age in Garner County, they are sent away to an encampment for a Grace Year where they are meant to release their innate "magic" into the wild. When they return, purified and cleansed of evil womanhood, they are to bear sons and lead a life of dutiful marriage. Though it's forbidden to talk about what happens during this Grace Year, rumors circulate among the women and girls of Garner County, and many women don't make it back from their Grace Year in one piece, or at all. In this Hunger Games-meets-Handmaid's Tale novel, Tierney James dreams of a different world, one where women have choice and power and aren't pitted against each other at every turn. As I watched Tierney's Grace Year unfold, I found my blood boiling, heart swelling, and imagination running wild with every page.
