First Girl

By Julie Aitcheson

Some things are worth fighting for: a sense of identity, personal freedom, truth, and new love-even in a society that forbids them. In the aftershocks of catastrophic climate change, the fundamentalist Christian group Unitas seized the opportunity to grab power in the United States. Gabi's father, Sam Lowell, is one of the most powerful men on the Unitas council... and his sickly daughter's hero, until Gabi discovers the horrors being carried out in the name of religion. Gabi's mission to expose Unitas will take her into the company of misfits and dissidents and beyond the borders of everything she knows as her life is threatened at every turn. Along the way, she uncovers her true origins and astonishing power, along with a ruthless dictatorship masquerading as a benevolent democracy that will stop at nothing-including playing God-to win the game of survival.
