Upright Women Wanted was very different from what I expected. I originally thought this was a general western but realized quickly it was an alternate history in which people have been driven back from technology and progress by an oppressive government and war. So it's a futuristic western. I found the story of Esther discovering that what she has been taught is untrue and that she can live and contribute to a more fulfilling life for herself and others. Another great read by Sarah Gailey.
