How much control is too much?

It's the question Nora must ask herself after illegally becoming pregnant. It's not as if she planned it. In fact, the very opposite – she received drugs to prevent it, just like every other baby in the Community. Extra children equal extra food rations, an impossibility for a society that controls every last resource.

She is on the cusp of having it all: perfect job, perfect fiancé, perfect wedding vaulting her from a Level Four to the uber-wealthy Level Six. Now this baby, and her rebellion against Community rules, is ruining everything. But it's not just her life unraveling; it's deeply hidden secrets that Nora's escape threatens to reveal. She, along with the rest of the Community, must confront their past if there's any hope of survival.
