(3) YA Serendipity "Pity" Jones's hardscrabble life on a farm is rough, but being sold off into marriage is worse, so Pity runs away and finds employment as a gun-slinging entertainer in a debauched metropolis. But the line between valued employee and disposable orphan proves to be thin. The post–Second Civil War dystopia is vividly imagined and the characters well developed in this girl-powered Western, Ely's debut novel.
