This novel has a fascinating premise: it's 2120 and the US is very different from current times. After âThe Breakâ there's no electricity, mass communications, state borders, government, retail, etc. And most females no longer have the ability of bear children.
16-year-old Ami Miles was raised in an isolated family compound by her extremely conservative grandparents and a host of aunts and uncles. All is well until one day a stranger arrives who pays close - and unwanted - attention to Ami. With help from her uncle's sister, Ami leaves the only place she's ever known on a quest to find her long-lost mother ... and a mate of her choosing. Along the way, she discovers that life is very different than she was raised to believe.
This is another book that fits into my niche of religion/beliefs explored in a general market novel. Watching Ami's world - and mind - expand was so interesting. But the ending seemed rushed and incomplete. I wanted more chapters, or a second book, to expand the next part of the story.
