On the battlefields of America, even our children will have to fight.

In his most powerful novel to date, acclaimed author Craig DiLouie presents a near future in which America is entrenched in civil war.

After his impeachment, the president of the United States refuses to leave office, and the country erupts into a fractured and violent war. Orphaned by the fighting and looking for a home, 10-year-old Hannah Miller joins a citizen militia in a besieged Indianapolis.

In the Free Women militia, Hannah finds a makeshift family. They’ll teach her how to survive. They’ll give her hope.

And they’ll show her how to use a gun.
