A life engineered behind closed doors

Inside a secluded facility, Maysie is trained to become an obedient daughter through sedatives, drills, and strict rules. The promise of safety and a perfected future begins to fracture as dreams return as memories, other girls disappear, and rival mentors offer competing accounts of what is best for her. The dystopian premise links institutional control with the reshaping of identity: Maysie’s uncertainty about the outside world is bound up with questions about who she was before the Program and what it means to know too much.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in dystopian fiction.
  • Readers drawn to stories about institutional control, memory, and identity.
  • Readers interested in young adult fiction centered on a secluded training program.

Book overview

Poise. Obedience. Purpose.

 

Within the walls of a secluded facility that reforms troubled girls into obedient daughters, there are only two outcomes: graduate or disappear. Erased and rebuilt from the ruins of herself, Maysie knows little about the future she's training for, let alone the world outside. Daily sedatives, posture drills, and the constant reminder to smile shape the only life she's ever known.

 

She considers herself lucky. She has friends who keep her calm, rules to keep her safe, and a future she's been taught to want. The guidance of armed enforcers and watchful doctors is a small price to pay for the promise of perfection.

 

But perfection never lasts. Dreams bleed into memories of a girl they claim no longer exists. Girls who break vanish without explanation. And two rival mentors-each claiming to know what's best for her-pull Maysie into a game she can't afford to lose. Every lie she uncovers threatens the version of her they've built, and the Program knows one sure way to silence girls who know too much.

 

Only this time, they won't stop at her memories.
