For the past seventy years, deep in the mountains and totally secluded from civilization, a matriarchal society has thrived. In this small village there are no brothers, no fathers, no sons. In this village men exist only to serve the women, and boys have no mothers. In this village men do as they are told and defiance is severely punished.

This is the only Life Wilderness has ever known, but when Jameson is brought in from the outside to be her husband, everything she thought she knew about strength and love is tested. As they struggle to find their place in the village, they suddenly find themselves face to face with outsiders who threaten to destroy everything they love, and it doesn’t take long to realize that they will have to work together, men and women alike, if they want to survive.

This desolate, hard way of life is all Jameson has ever known. Since a plague took out most of the population 70 plus years ago, life hasn’t been easy for anyone. When a job lands him in the middle of nowhere, he has hopes things may get better. But all that changes in the middle of the night when his world is forever changed by a band of spear wielding women.

I absolutely enjoyed TRIBE OF DAUGHTERS and loved the unique story Mary delivered. While the story did start off a little slow and several scenes at first were overly repetitive, it soon picked up to a better pace and I found myself not wanting to put it down. I am really hoping Mary continues on and makes this a series. But no fear, there are no cliffhangers. It wraps up nicely. I just hate for this to be the last we see if Jameson and Wilderness.

I loved the post semi-apocalyptic atmosphere the story generated at the start and seeing how life tried to move on after a plague ravaged the US. And although there were no zombies, something Mary excels at, I still loved the story and the uniqueness of the plot.

If you enjoy any of Mary’s books, definitely give this one a go. It was fascinating, intriguing, and the romance was spot on. 4 Stars
