I won this book from a Goodreads giveaway. 
 I'm not sure what to say about this book. It was very disturbing. Vanessa and her friends live on an island, separate from the wastelands. Their ancestors fled an unspecified apocalyptic event to start fresh. Only Wanderer's, descendants from the original 10 families, are allowed to travel beyond the island to scavenge what they need. Every summer, the children of the island are turned out to live freely without any supervision. They cover themselves with mud to ward off mosquitoes and play, eat, and sleep in the wild. In the fall the children return home to attend school and the girls must submit to the ministrations of their "loving" fathers. When one girl realizes that a woman in their community was murdered by the wanderers, the girls stage a rebellion, leaving their homes and living wild, even in the fall and winter. Their rebellion will upset the dynamic of the whole island. 
 Gather the Daughters is well written. The story line flowed well, and I read the book very quickly. I rated it two stars because I did not like the ending. 
 A warning - this book contains abuse. Particularly, sexual abuse of children. I found it very disturbing and I have no abuse in my background. If you do, you may want to steer clear of this book. 
 (view spoiler)[ I was not happy with how the book ended. Yes, Vanessa and her family leave the island, but she is still at the mercy of her father, and the island seems to be continuing on as it was. The fathers will continue abusing their daughters. There is no closure. This disturbed me as much as anything. What is the point of telling this story, if there is no resolution? (hide spoiler)]
