Hester is a Book Eater- a human-like species that eats books to gain knowledge.  She is raised as a princess, given fairy-tales to eat.  Her job is to marry and have a baby.  Then she'll marry another and have another baby.  

The Book Eaters is a story of how far someone will go for the people she loves the most.   It is a story of family, both blood and found.   

I will definitely be reading the sequel.
