(2) YA Red Abbey Chronicles series. Translated by A. A. Prime. This prequel to Maresi chronicles the early lives of the founding sisters of the Red Abbey, an island refuge for girls who have been abused. Turtschaninoff evokes colorful backstories and complex psyches, ultimately weaving these women's relationships, personalities, and experiences into a potent, collaborative self-rescue from bondage. The backdrop of sexual violence is difficult, but in the foreground is a fierce exposition of female courage and resilience.
