Summary Note Set in a dystopian world where overpopulation and global warming have put an impossible strain on world resources. To combat the global crisis, the totalitarian governing body known as The Bureau establishes The Deal. Accept The Deal by your 20th birthday, and you'll receive a job, housing, and medical care for twenty more years, after which point, you're required to voluntarily take your own life. Once you take The Deal, there's no turning back. The Bureau makes sure of this. Tala took the deal when she was twenty, pregnant, and alone. She spent the next nineteen years raising her daughter Analyn. Just five days before Tala's due to die, Analyn gets an unexpected medical diagnosis. Now Tala will fight to get her daughter beyond the reach of The Bureau before her time is up.
