Westward Women

It starts with an itch.<br /><br />In homes across the country, women ages eighteen to thirty-five begin to slow down.<br /><br />Tired. Blank. Restless.<br /><br />Drawn to the Pacific Ocean like it’s calling them home. They abandon their lives—jobs, families, their very selves. And once they reach the West, they vanish forever.<br /><br />At the center of the story are three young women caught in the pull of something unstoppable.<br /><br />Aimee follows the trail of her missing best friend to a man called the Piper—known for leading infected women West.<br /><br />Teenie, afflicted and unraveling, clings to a single memory as she looks out the window of the Piper’s van.<br /><br />And Eve, a former journalist, is chasing the story that might just consume her.<br /><br />Each on the edge of transformation. Drawn toward the unknown. In search of a way forward.
