March’s FYA Book Club Pick
The Grace Year by Kim Liggett
It’s tradition. The women in Garner County spend their sixteenth years in the wilderness, banished from their homes, while they release their “magic” so they can return to be obedient, plain wives and laborers. You aren’t supposed to talk about what happens to you during your grace year, even when you watch as the women who return, year after year, come back broken, starved, missing bits of ears, fingers, or limbs. But the other outcome is worse: plenty don’t come back at all.
Tierney has spent her childhood trying to discover more about what she’s walking into, but there’s nothing that can prepare her for what she finds when she walks through the front gate and gets locked into the compound. If she survives starvation, she may be attacked and skinned by poachers who sell parts of the girls as “restorative” medicine. If she steers clear of poachers, she has her fellow girls to contend with (and one in particular wants her dead).
Can Tierney survive the year and make it home? More importantly, with everything she’s learning about herself, her friends, and her society, does she even want to?
