This is a society when you are taken away from your family at age 5 and put into a boarding school with peers of your own gender.  At age 17, you become a citizen of the society, and are branded as being fertile or not.  Obviously, those who are fertile will have better chances in life, especially if they come from a powerful family.  If you're infertile, you generally get the jobs that the powerful and rich don't want.... but of course money and power speak.  An infertile man or woman may still be able to marry well or get a good career if they are intelligent, rich, or come from a rising/powerful family.And then there are the Lush. Bluebell is the first Lush to be born in at least 20 years, and the only one that anyone can actually say that they have met.  She becomes the standard for what every citizen should strive for in themselves or their children, since she is not only fertile but has the ability to have multiple children.But Bluebell learns that her entire life has been a life, and her dreams have more truth than her own conscious memories.  Trapped between truth and duty, what decision will Bluebell make?
