CATHERINE LINKA: A GIRL CALLED FEARLESS
"A Girl Called Fearless is a story about fighting for the most important things in life—freedom and love."
Avie Reveare has the
normal life of a privileged teen growing up in L.A., at least as normal
as any girl’s life is these days. After a synthetic hormone in beef
killed fifty million American women ten years ago, only young girls, old
women, men, and boys are left to pick up the pieces. The death threat
is past, but fathers still fear for their daughters' safety, and the
Paternalist Movement, begun to "protect" young women, is taking over the
choices they make. Like all her friends, Avie still mourns the loss of
her mother, but she’s also dreaming about college and love and what
she’ll make of her life. When her dad "contracts" her to marry a rich,
older man to raise money to save his struggling company, her life
suddenly narrows to two choices: Be trapped in a marriage with a
controlling politician, or run. Her lifelong friend, student
revolutionary Yates, urges her to run to freedom across the border to
Canada. As their friendship turns to passion, the decision to leave
becomes harder and harder. Running away is incredibly dangerous, and
it’s possible Avie will never see Yates again. But staying could mean
death. (goodreads.com)

impassable dust storm, and escape is impossible... Until Lauren decides nothing-and no one-is going to keep her here anymore. (goodreads.com)
