But as the world continues to grapple with its terrible circumstances, she’ll discover a role greater than chasing a pale imitation of independence. To preserve her freedom, she dons men’s clothing, goes by false names, and avoids as many people as possible. Even fewer are safe from the clans of men, who, driven by fear, seek to control those remaining. A few women like her survived, though they are scarce. All that remains is power-and the strong who possess it. In the wake of a fever that decimated the earth’s population-killing women and children and making childbirth deadly for the mother and infant-the midwife must pick her way through the bones of the world she once knew to find her place in this dangerous new one.
