In a society where babies have become a source of government income, laws designed to push up the birth rate have been implemented. Women are mandated to give birth and then surrender their babies to “The Auction”. The wealthy bid on the healthiest babies, but the poor must take predatory government loans to meet the minimum bid requirements to purchase the sickest.

“Four women use their skills, along with the help of sympathetic men, to hatch a plan to set things right. Readers will toggle between rage and hope as they immerse themselves in North's meticulous worldbuilding that exposes the hypocrisy and illogic of brutal government policies, stifling bureaucracy, and government censorship. North crafts a memorable and emotional thrill ride through an unnerving society with intelligent and inspirational characters who strive to create their own destiny." Booklife Review (⚡️)
