Girl One + Pearl of Nature
Girl One by Sara Flannery Murphy is a thriller of a story where Josephne “Josie” Morrow is Girl One. Or, the first of nine babies conceived entirely without male DNA. Her mother, Margaret Morrow, raised her on a commune called Homestead with nine other miracle babies. Unfortunately, there is a mysterious fire that utterly destroys Homestead and kills two of the Homesteaders. In the wake of this harrowing fire, the remaining commune members spread across the United States and lost track of one another. That is until Margaret Morrow goes missing and Josie goes on a personal mission to find her Homestead sisters in order to unlock her mother’s disappearance. But, this is not just a missing persons case, but a journey into the past, an uncovering of buried origins, and an unlocking of hidden secrets. (Published by Macmillan)
Girl One is a genre-bending page-turner that has you contemplating the bonds of sisterhood, the strength of love, and the sting of betrayal. And somehow, this is all framed by the natural order of procreation… or, depending on how you view it, the unnatural order of procreation. Even with all these competing viewpoints, we can all agree that sipping on the Pearl of Nature will help you get down into the pages of this book.
