The Broken Bride

It is the year 2340, and for the past one hundred years the laws of "Moral Conformity" have ruled over The Supreme Lands aka Old America. In short, men were encouraged to receive higher education and work to provide for their families. While women were stripped of almost all of their human rights and not allowed to attend a traditional school or pursue a career of any kind. As the first Bill of Conformity states "A woman should be focused solely on the duties of a wife and mother, all learned skills must support that goal". To the poorer families, girls started to become useless as they could not work or bring anything in to help their relatives. This led to many destitute families abandoning young girls. In response to this tragedy, the Council created "Bride Mills" where baby girls without homes were admitted and spent their days learning how to become a perfect woman of Supreme society and at the end of their stay be married off to wealthy families who preferred government brides.

Enter Valerie, a young woman left in front of the mill only days old. The goal to be the perfect wife and mother is all she knew. Though she couldn't seem to stifle the part of her that wanted more. When she is married to the dashing Henry Dageraux her struggle between trying to be the perfect wife and also finding herself would have caused an incredible strain in any other Supreme relationship, but Henry was different, and it is up to them to make a change.
