Grace detonates the bomb that had been strapped to her body--but not before stepping far enough away to survive the explosion. After years of extreme manipulation and deprivation, she realizes she deserves a life of her own. The story unfolds during a harrowing train trip--Grace's slim hope of escaping punishment for disobeying orders. Scott's near-claustrophobic dystopian tale is intense and riveting.
