Impossible?
“Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” - Muhammad Ali

Laura Shaine's Goodreads review of IT'S A NIGHTMARE!
I think this is an extraordinary express ride into the future of the female condition! Dazzling language and imagery propel the impassioned plot. It reminds me somewhat of The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood but really, it is like nothing I ever read before!
A must if you care about being a woman- past, present, and future. Opened my eyes! Nicole Quinn is a totally original talent!

Chronogram Review!
Thanks, Nina!
Being the weird girl is never easy, but in a dystopian future where women are breeding stock and domestic pets, it's a nightmare. A magical foundling born inside a willow tree, Mina is raised by canny off-gridders who teach her to value herself and feign compliance. But talent will out, and her transformative gifts threaten the ruling Night Mare and her copper-skinned son. Quinn's feminist hallucination weaves gorgeous imagery and dimensional characters with glints of dark humor.
