In a divided near-future America, one woman’s quiet rebellion against control, coercion, and the weight of expectation sets off a chain reaction no one could have foreseen.

Ashley is young, pregnant, and increasingly isolated in a world that claims to protect her while stripping away her choices. As her relationship with Anthony—a traditionalist clinging to old values—grows more suffocating, her inner circle of friends begins to fracture under the pressure of rising political extremism, personal grief, and the burden of loyalty.

Told through multiple voices, this bold and unsettling literary novel unpacks the complexities of gender, power, loneliness, and the stories we’re allowed to tell. In a culture where every moment can be captured and repurposed, who decides what it means to survive?
