Upright Women Wanted by Sarah Gailey

Set in a dystopian future where the American Southwest is ruled by a totalitarian regime, the story follows Esther, a young woman fleeing an arranged marriage and the execution of her secret lover. She finds refuge with a group of Librarians, who are not just purveyors of government-approved literature but also a covert network of resistance fighters. As Esther travels with these fierce and independent women, she discovers her own strength and the power of defiance, challenging societal norms and fighting for a world where freedom and love can thrive.
