Tierney James has turned 16 and therefore must be banished from society with others her age for what is called The Grace Year. The young girls are believed to have magic inside them that must be released before they are allowed to return to their families, and to wed their selected husbands. But Tierney may not be like many of the girls who have gone before her, and she will not go quietly into the night never to be heard from again.

The Grace Year is an amazingly addictive dystopian novel that truly is the definition of a page-turner. Those who are fans of The Handmaids Tale and The Hunger Games will not be disappointed. The dark tale of what young girls will do to survive leaves you shocked and scrambling right down to the very last page. Would highly recommend!
