The Rebels: A Women Lead Dystopian Book
Hope, a small-town mechanic drowning in debt, never imagined becoming a wartime leader. But when North Korea invades, she must risk everything—including her humanity.
It started as a camping trip. Just two twenty-something cousins relaxing in the Pacific Northwest wilderness.
But when Hope Wilkins and her cousin Sonya return to their Oregon home, they find North Korean soldiers patrolling the roads, the towns cold and dark, people hiding in their homes—and their families missing.
There’s been an invasion.
Confused and full of questions, Hope and Sonya round up a few neighbors, head back into the hills, and wait for the military to save them.
Except no one comes for them. There is no government here, no military. Not anymore.
What’s a girl to do?
Searching for their friends and families, this small band heads deep into the Willamette Valley—where they accidentally start an uprising they can’t, and won’t, walk away from.
Because strong women never back down.

A powerfully told story of what life would be like if the US was taken over by foreign power. In this case North Korea. As family and friends are rounded up and enslaved or worse, a group of women decide to fight back. The author has taken this premise and brought it alive with incredible characters or feel deeply about the harm they are doing and a uniquely feminine approach to guerrilla warfare. The book ends in a way that makes you want to read the next book, but is a satisfying ending on its own. Recommended for fans of dystopian fiction, and those who believe women are powerful. Highly recommended.
