Set in 1894, this bestselling novel follows 17-year-old Ada, whose life is defined by society’s expectations. A year into her marriage, she still hasn’t gotten pregnant, and in her world, that’s not just disappointing. It’s dangerous. Women who can’t conceive are accused of witchcraft and hanged. Desperate to escape that horrifying fate, Ada decides to join the infamous Hole in the Wall outlaw gang. Suddenly, she’s living a life she never imagined and it’s one filled with freedom, danger and impossible choices. But when the stakes get higher, Ada must decide: Is she willing to risk everything for her freedom or will she go back to her old life filled with expectations and accusations? A fun western tale that is perfect for fans of The Handmaid’s Tale.
