Teen Girls Survival

It is the year 2058. The Sino-American War has decimated several generations of men, and the Sterility Epidemic has made 90 percent of the surviving males sterile. Electricity does not function in five western states. Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming, and Montana are territories once again. Collectively, they are known as the Juniper. It is the most dangerous place on Earth. On a desperate post-apocalyptic cattle drive to save their family ranch, Cavatica Weller and her two gunslinging sisters stumble across a rare boy.

On a cold morning in late fall, a girl was found running down the street, naked and screaming. She had been missing for over a month. It’s been five years since that day, and 18-year-old Taylor Cormier may have escaped her captor but never escaped the trauma. Despite this, she wants what all girls entering senior year want. That is until another girl goes missing, and Taylor’s life erupts into chaos once more.

By her 14th birthday, Babe Killingsworth measures six-feet-nine-inches and weighs 342 pounds. In 1896, what other options does a giant have but to join a carnival? Her only real talent is handling animals. The cheap outfit her feckless father sells her off to offers critters galore; an escape from Neal, Idaho; and a bit of fame. It also opens the doorway to exploitation and neglect. Enter Carlotta Jones, billed as the world’s smallest girl, whose elephant act leaves much to be desired. At 30 inches tall, Carlotta is beautiful, spoiled, demanding, and has very little talent.

No one knows how the world will end. On a secret compound in the Washington wilderness, Honey Juniper and her sisters are training to hunt, homestead, and protect their own. Prepare for every situation. But when danger strikes from within, putting her sisters at risk, training becomes real life, and only one thing is certain: Nowhere is safe.
