Samenvatting:

Knowledge is a Dangerous Commodity

Home - the last bastion of civilization in a corrupt and fallen world. Outside dwell the reanimated dead, cannibals, and scavengers; remnants of a once great race. Inside, the commune is ruled with an iron fist by Deacon, and administered without mercy by the Elders.
Everyone knows their place in Home. Everyone is safe in Home…as long as they follow the rules.

Handmaiden Suzannah Commons is content with training to be a wife and mother, the only occupation open to women in Home. But her world is turned upside-down when she tastes the forbidden knowledge contained in outlawed books.

Suzannah discovers a new way of life is possible, but that knowledge comes at a high price. It could cost her life. Or the life of the boy she loves.
