We are Isobel, Jen and Zelda.

Our stories aren't set it in a dystopian future or past. This novel might be fiction but it's not fantasy. What we've lived through is real, and it's happening now.

JEN
My body is not my own. Others make life and death decisions on my behalf.

ISOBEL
My place is to be secondary to the man in my life.

ZELDA
If I break the rules I will be sorry.

Can we break free?
