Miranda Reynolds always thought she would rather die than live in Femlandia. But then the country sinks into total economic collapse and her husband walks out, leaving her and her sixteen-year-old daughter with nothing. The streets are full of looting, robbing, and killing, and Miranda and Emma have no choice - they either starve and risk getting murdered, or find safety. And so they set off to Femlandia, the women-only colony Miranda's mother, Win Somers, established decades ago. Although Win is no longer in the spotlight, her protege Jen Jones has taken Femlandia to new heights: The off-grid colonies are safe, self-sufficient, and thriving, and Emma is instantly enchanted by the idea of a safe haven. But something is not right. There are no men allowed in the colony, but babies are being born--and they're all girls. Miranda discovers just how the all-women community is capable of enduring, and it leads her to question how far her mother went to create this perfect, thriving, horrifying society.
