Although I don't normally read science fiction novels, this is the March 2016 selection of the Willa Cather Book Club. This novel is set in 2025 California where unintended economic and environmental crises have led to social chaos. Lauren Olamina lives in a walled community with her father, stepmother, and 4 younger half brothers. When an attack from a group of "outside the wall" people destroys her home, she finds herself alone with two other survivors (not family) in the very dangerous, "Wild West" America. As Lauren walks from Los Angeles north, she cobbles together a new family and religion. A thought-provoking read...
