   In a world where abortion has become illegal in America, in-vitro fertilization is banned and the Personhood Amendment grants rights of life, liberty, and property to every embryo, five women navigate these new barriers. A single high-school teacher desperate for a child, a frustrated mother of two, a pregnant teenager, a polar explorer from the 19th century, and a maverick herbalist facing charges of attempted murder for trying to help women with unwanted pregnancies, all grapple with the implications of these restrictive laws on their lives and identities.

2. 2. Wolf Bells

   

   On a bluff above a river, The House is an experimental intergenerational home run by a former punk singer where elderly and disabled residents live alongside young people who trade help for rent. When two children, Nola and her cousin James, arrive seeking refuge, the fragile community must face outside pressures—authorities, money troubles—and reckon with the obligations and limits of care. The novel follows the tangled, often funny and painful dynamics of this chosen family as it tests whether everyone can find a place to belong.
