IN HER WHOLE LIFE, NZINGA HAD NEVER SEEN A BOY. The gladers were all like her, women. Runners, leaders, and builders, but never a man. Every month another woman or girl showed up, scared, scarred, and wild, remembering nothing but their names, every one of them becoming survivors under the guidance of Swan - the fierce leader. But... There was another side. Another glade. Like theirs, except for the fact it was completely opposite.
They had never seen a woman.

*****
It's been a year since the love of Elliot's life, Allan, passed away. Everyone thinks he should have recovered after that much time, but Allan still haunts Elliot every night. He struggles to maintain relationships with his family, and despite a coworkers interest he can't summon up the courage to date. Elliot is living for the past, because to live for the present means he'll have to live with a hole in his heart. But the question Elliot has to face chases him through his monotonous days: is mourning Allan with everything he has truly living?
