With general lawlessness between towns, and a strong patriarchy in place, Esther has a need to escape. Her best friend / secret girlfriend was just hanged for a minor offence. Now Esther is to marry the fiancée.
Her only chance is stowing away in the wagon of the librarians - women who roam from town to town distributing Approved Materials. No one would mess with these strong women doing the work of the government.
What she finds are queer librarian spies on horseback - can't get much more perfect than that! I loved this book and am hoping for a sequel. Also, I am reading everything Sarah Gailey has written!
