Grace Year
The instant New York Times bestseller, Kim Liggett's The Grace Year is a speculative YA thriller in the vein of The Hunger Games and The Power, now in trade paperback.
No one speaks of the grace year. It’s forbidden.
In Garner County, girls are banished for their sixteenth year to release their magic into the wild so they can return purified and ready for marriage.
But not all of them will make it home alive.
Tierney James dreams of a better life—but as her own grace year draws near, she quickly realizes that there’s more to fear about the grace year than the brutal elements and the poachers in the woods.
Their greatest threat may very well be each other.
With sharp prose and gritty realism, Liggett's The Grace Year examines the complex and sometimes twisted relationships between girls, the women they eventually become, and the difficult decisions they make in-between.

✨ Summarized by Bookclubs AI
Readers say *Grace Year* by Kim Liggett is a gripping feminist dystopian novel with a haunting, intense atmosphere and a strong, complex protagonist. ...
that had elements of Yellowjackets. The writing was captivating & I felt so uncomfortable the whole time, like I was right there with all the girls. I could not put this book down. The ending shocked me completely. This is one of the most beautiful stories I’ve ever read.
Her older sisters, her mother, they’ve all gone through their Grace Years and, as is customary, say not a word about their time away. So, with Tierney’s Grace Year finally here, she can do little more than hope that she’s prepared enough to survive what’s to come.
Honestly I don’t know what to say other than this was WILD. Want to be a ball of frustration and anger and pride and love? Want to have your heart hurt? Then this just might be the book for you!
