In The Grace Year, girls in Garner County are sent away at sixteen for their “grace year,” a year spent in isolation to purge the magic believed to corrupt them. Tierney James, defiant and questioning, enters the wilderness alongside other girls, where they face brutal conditions, poachers, and each other’s distrust.
The novel explores themes of female empowerment, societal control, and the fierce will to survive, as Tierney uncovers the truth behind the grace year and what lies beyond the rigid expectations placed on young women.
