Tess of the Road
by Rachel Hartman
Tess is the black sheep of her hyper-religious family, while her twin is the embodiment of purity. From a young age, their mother has drilled into them the importance of staying away from young men, obedience, and self-censure. Tess is naturally drawn to adventure, pirates, and pushing the boundaries. She has a love/hate relationship with her mom-consoling her when she is down, hating her when lectured on how awful she is.. As a teen, Tess has messed up. No one asked her the details of her impropriety, but she has been punished all the same. To repent, Tess does everything she can to ensure that her twin receives the highest honors at court so that she may have a chance at a good marriage. While they are successful, Tess is utterly unhappy. It is after she performs dreadfully at her sisters wedding, that Tess realizes she needs to get away from her family. So she takes to the road. Each day, Tess has to convince herself to keep walking, until she realizes that she has found her place as a traveler, and recognizes all the good that is inside of her.
Will resonate with many individuals who have a similar relationship with similar people or institutions. Takes place in the same world as the Seraphina books.
High school/adult.
