Girl in the Womb

A Dystopian Reproductive Horror Novel

Her mother’s flesh is her sanctuary—and her prison.

“One of the most original books I’ve read in a long time.”

Description

Madison has spent eight years paying her birth debt, with only two more before her cord is cut and she will no longer be counted among the unborn.
The Ministry imposes the debt using carefully crafted algorithms to keep The Cradle fertile. Until this debt is paid, Madison experiences the outside world through her mother’s flesh and skin, her sanctuary and her prison at the same time.
Her parents sacrifice the little they are given to make her life as normal as possible. The math that controls The Cradle is perfect. The horror is that it works: people become numbers, and when the numbers do not add up, the outlier is thrown into the Enforcer's furnace.
