Ara Murphy never wanted children, but in 2067, that choice isn’t hers to make. A series of deadly pandemics have ravaged the world, and fertility has become a rare and precious commodity. Under the Fertility Act, every fertile woman must serve three years in the program, bear one child, and then—supposedly—be set free.
But as Ara endures invasive procedures and relentless surveillance, she begins to question everything. Why do some women disappear? Why does the government need so much control? And how much more can they take from her before she breaks?
For fans of The Handmaid’s Tale and Vox, this gripping dystopian thriller explores autonomy, power, and one woman’s fight for freedom in a world where survival comes at an unbearable price.
