In the Christian States of America, a woman's
place is with a man. No exceptions.
Although she's legally an adult,
eighteen-year-old Meryn Flint must live at home until her stepfather, Ray,
finds her a husband. That's the law.
But when Ray kills her mother and Meryn must
flee for her own safety, she quickly discovers there's no safe place in the CSA
for a woman on the run. Unless she's willing to marry her former boyfriend-a
man who's already demonstrated his capacity for violence-she'll be forced to
live on the street. And that's a dangerous option for a woman alone.
As time runs out, Meryn is offered a third
path: build herself a tiny house, a safe place to call home. Even though it's a
violation of her Family Duty as well as every moral law on the books, Meryn
seizes the chance.
But even a tiny tin house might not be enough
to save her . . .
