I don't read/listen to book set in the 70s (at least I don't recall any), so this was a nice change even though it was a grim story. Heather and Beth fought to the very end and were excellent storytellers. Heather dealt with things at home, fought her towns weird rules, and uncovered a terrible thing that changed her entire world. She stayed true to the task which made this story is interesting and shocking at each turn. Beth was a true fighter, brilliant. I loved that she remembered things her parents taught her and put it to good use. Very good audiobook!
