YA
Wren wants nothing more than to get picked by her "deity," Dot, as a chosen one. But visions of another life cause Wren and others to question Dot's holiness and her teachings that nothing exists beyond the trees of their idyllic, Eden-esque home. Despite flat secondary characters, the allegory-heavy plot is buoyed by musings on free will and happiness.
