A Publishers Weekly Best Book of 2016 and Philip K. Dick Award
Winner When she fell asleep, the world was doomed. When she awoke,
it was dead. 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. Gone are the pillars of civilization. All that
remains is power-and the strong who possess it. A few women like
her survived, though they are scarce. Even fewer are safe from the
clans of men, who, driven by fear, seek to control those remaining.
To preserve her freedom, she dons men's clothing, goes by false
names, and avoids as many people as possible. But as the world
continues to grapple with its terrible circumstances, she'll
discover a role greater than chasing a pale imitation of
independence. After all, if humanity is to be reborn, someone must
be its guide.
