Synopsis

What if your words were a crime, but your silence was a death sentence?

In New North, women are forbidden to read. Andra has spent her whole life hiding the fact that she can do far more than that. She can write events into existence. Her words do not just describe reality. They create it.

When the wrong people discover what she can do, Andra is faced with an impossible choice. Stay hidden and survive. Or use her power and risk everything to free the women around her.

She was never supposed to be a revolutionary. But revolutions are not started by the people who feel ready.

A Sarton Women's Literary Award finalist. Hailed by the Huffington Post as part dystopian fiction, part feminist manifesto. For readers of Margaret Atwood, Octavia Butler, and Tamora Pierce.

P.O.W.ER is the story of what happens when one young woman stops hiding and starts writing the world she wants to live in.

Fighting Anger with Creativity

I am angry today. This book is a gift to all people who believe in the right to live a joyous, fulfilled life on their own terms. It is a call for unity. It is a wish for a world where we lift each other up, rather than give in to a world ruled by greed, patriarchy, or a complete disregard for empathy. We are all prisoners of a war we did not choose. But, together, we all have the power to rewrite society to become a better place.

Book Excerpt

P.O.W.ER

“Aren’t all women, in a way, prisoners of war? We are prisoners of a silent, weaponless war intended to strip us of power, freedom and the ability to think and act for ourselves. It’s time we learned to fight this war on our own grounds, and create a world where everyone, regardless of gender, has the right to live to their full potential. I’m tired of living by rules that don’t allow me to live fully, and I have no intention of obediently walking into marriage because someone says I must.”
