This Little Light — Lori Lansens

A teenage girl is running for her life in “a near-future that is stark, visceral and terrifyingly real” in this national bestselling dystopian thriller (Ami McKay, author of The Birth House).

 

Taking place over the course of forty-eight pulse-pounding hours, This Little Light draws readers into a near-future world of born-again Christians and celebrity worship where abortion is illegal and surveillance is everywhere. Sixteen-year-old Rory Miller and her best friend, Fee, are on the run after a bomb explodes at their elite Christian private school inside their triple-gated California community.

As Rory and Fee struggle to evade a media-frenzied search led by zealots and bounty hunters, Rory blogs their story in real time, determined to leave behind a record in their own words in case they don't make it out alive. Author Lori Lansens weaves an intense, urgent, and enthralling read about an all-too-believable near future -- and the world we already live in.
