I am so happy to be a part of the cover reveal for DELIVER
ME by Kate Jarvik Birch, coming April 15th from
Bloomsbury Spark.
Blurb:
One People.
One Union. One Future.
Wynne’s
entire life is dictated by the Union: the clothes she wears, the books she
reads, even the genes she inherited. And like every other girl in the Union,
Wynne dreams of being chosen as a Carrier on her 16th birthday—one
of the elite selected to carry the future generation within her womb.
Wynne and her best friend Odessa are certain they will both make the cut, but
when Odessa is chosen and whisked off to a life of privilege, Wynne is left
behind to work as an assistant, delivering babies for the Union.
As
Odessa slips deeper and deeper into the role of Carrier, Wynne begins to see
the Union for what it really is: a society that criminalizes the notion of
love, and forbids words like mother and family.
For
the first time in her life, Wynne is faced with a choice: submit to the
will of the Union, or find a way to escape and save Odessa before she is lost
forever.
