Something is happening to the world, society collapses, and pregnant people are being snatched up and taken away. This is the story of one woman's journey through out her pregnancy. This was well written, reflective without being preachy, and it also scarred the hell out of me. Take the handmaid's tale and make it more anxiety inducing, heartbreaking, and sad.
