The Grace Year

This gripping novel follows a group of girls who are banished from their community for their sixteenth year, in order to release their supposed magical powers into the wild. But not all of them will make it back alive. As 16-year-old Tierney James embarks on her own grace year, she soon realizes the real threat isn't the elements or poachers, but her fellow girls. With sharp prose and raw honesty, The Grace Year explores the challenges and complexities of relationships between women as they navigate the difficult decisions between girlhood and womanhood.
