From the back cover
For years, the Nursery Act was the miracle that ended a fertility crisis. Empty homes filled with children, birth numbers climbed, and a society that had begun to plan for its own quiet end believed it had been saved.
No one asked what a program that could grant a generation might also intend for it.
When a single analyst begins to read the records too closely, a question surfaces that families across the world are not ready to face, one that will take three decades, and everything they love, to answer.
The Grace Period is a sweeping literary dystopia of reproductive technology, institutional power, grief, and the ferocious love of parents for children the world was never built to keep. For readers of Never Let Me Go, The Handmaid's Tale, and Station Eleven.
