Abstract:
Raised in isolation in a post-apocalyptic world, Ami Miles escapes to seek her long-lost mother after her grandfather, knowing she is one of the few surviving women capable of child-bearing, arranges her marriage to a stranger.
Ami Miles was raised in isolation at Heavenly Shepherd, her family's trailer-dealership-turned-survival compound. She was lucky to be born into a place of safety after the old world ended and the chaos began. But when her grandfather arranges a marriage to a cold-eyed stranger, she realizes that her 'destiny' as one of the few females capable of still bearing children isn't something she's ready to face. With the help of one of her aunts, Ami flees, and sets off on a quest to find her long-lost mother. On her journey, Ami discovers many new things about the world-- and about herself. -- adapted from jacket
