In a world dominated by men and a cult-style religion, women are no longer allowed to hold a job or allowed to speak more than 100 words PER DAY. If they do the repurcussions are swift and painful. Daughters are no longer taught how to read, but instead how to do math, make change for groceries and the importance of keeping house.

When the president's brother has an accident that affects his brain, Dr. Jean McClellan is called upon to continue her work (pre-male dominated society) to cure his ailment. Something bothers Jean about the situation and the readiness of the lab she's given access to.

There are other things at play and Jean is all-in with whatever it takes for her daughter, herself and women everywhere.

Well this was certainly not what I expected! It was slow to start but picked up in the middle through the end. The end did feel a tad rushed but I still enjoyed this overall. Definitely worth a read if you enjoy dystopian type books or are wanting to step into this genre.
