Year of grace. Ligggett K.

Garner in the Garner district. Here they believe that young girls can lure men out of beds, and their wives are completely crazy. That is why girls are expelled from home for a whole year - during this time they should get rid of the dark “gift” and go back cleaned, ready for marriage. Sixteen -year -old Tyrny James dreams of a better life, and the closer her own year of grace is approaching, the stronger the fear confuses thoughts. What if she does not return back, if what other women whispered about secretly, can happen to her? What if this year actually carries only death?
