title: Forbidden Future
author: Brown, Berengaria
description:  More than fifty years ago, wicked winds, carrying deadly diseases, swept across the land, and their ancestors fled to a protected valley. But now the easy-to-gather food and fuel are used up, and the people struggle to feed themselves. The goods their ancestors had brought with them are worn out, and life is hard trying to feed and provide for themselves. Zuri, Udo, and Tau love each other, but have to meet in the forest to make love. The people decide to go to the city to look for food and fuel. It's Zuri who finds the ancestors' truck and asks for a gift in return-that she, Tau, and Udo could be together. Their request is granted. Then everyone plans for the trip to the city. It'll be very dangerous, but the three of them will be together. But will they find any food? Will they even survive?
