The Light from the Other Side of the Forest (Lionesses of the Light)

by April G. G.

Community rating: 4/5 from 1 rating.

Boys are not just forbidden. They are impossible. Porter grows up in an isolated, rigid community of women called the Lionesses of the Light, a place where the rules are absolute, the leader’s word is treated as sacred, and every part of life is shaped by the principles of the Light. But when Porter is eleven, she encounters someone who should not exist in her world. A boy. The meeting lasts only a few minutes, but it awakens questions she has never been allowed to ask and a curiosity that could put everything she knows at risk. As her questions deepen, Porter begins to uncover dark secrets about her community, about the leader they have all been taught to admire, and about the truth hidden behind rules she once believed were unbreakable. She is forced to face a painful choice. Stay in the only world she has ever known, or dare to imagine freedom she never knew was possible.
