Birthmarked by Caragh M. O'Brien

Birthmarked takes place in a distant future where a few survive in a dystopian society that is separated by a wall. On one side there are the Protectorate who rule both sides but lives in the comfort of the Enclave. On the other are simple village people who under the Protectorate rule are ordered to hand over the first three new born of every month in order to receive life sustaining provisions. Gaia is our young protagonist. She's sixteen and a midwife trained by her mother. Gaia is faced with horrifying truths about the society she serves and becomes an unlikely heroine. There's action, mystery, and romance! It is a book I highly recommend. If you enjoyed Katniss and her strength in THG you will fall in love with Gaia.
