#StoryGraph: dystopian young-adult emotional dark-fantasy horror psychological-thriller speculative-fiction
416 pages � first pub 2019 � 5 Stars
DESCRIPTION
A speculative YA thriller in the vein of The Hunger Games, Lord of the Flies, Vox, and The Power
No one speaks of the grace year. It's forbidden.
In Garner County, girls are banished for their sixteenth year to release their magic into the wild so they can return purified and ready for marriage. But not all of them will make it home alive.
Tierney James dreams of a better life--but as her own grace year draws near, she quickly realizes that there's more to fear about the grace year than the brutal elements and the poachers in the woods.
Their greatest threat may very well be each other.
With sharp prose and gritty realism, Kim Liggett's The Grace Year examines the complex and sometimes twisted relationships between girls, the women they eventually become, and the difficult decisions they make in-between.
