What if women were in control?
Civilization has crumbled. Brutes, feral men, roam the countryside.
But inside the Enclave, women are safe. Liberated from menial tasks, they pursue intellectual interests and cultivate their tastes in art, music, theater, and delicacies. They govern themselves via consensus. Gracious manners are the rule.
Their culture of refinement stands in stark contrast to the wilderness beyond the Enclave walls, where Brutes must compete for scarce resources.
Brutes are taken into the Enclave for one reason, and one reason only—reproduction.
But Menna, a young Vestal responsible for the reproduction program, makes a mistake she’s desperate to conceal. The fallout threatens the Enclave, and shatters Menna's every preconception. Who are these Brutes? What is it they want?
Powerful and profound, Falling as She Sings is at once science fiction adventure, spiritual thriller, and visionary love story. It's a searching, funny commentary on the eternal, yet ever fresh and compelling forces driving relationships between the sexes.
Falling as She Sings is a dystopian novel that turns The Handmaid's Tale on its head.
Scroll up to buy Falling as She Sings and experience this vivid and absorbing story today!

This is less of a stand alone review than a response to the reviews below. Sci-Fi is the only self published genre I read. There is a lot of crap in it. This, fellow reader, is not crap. In the days when books were bound and printed this would have been something that you could probably get directly in paperback. Is it Heinlein? No, but it stands shoulder to shoulder with Hugh Howey.The criticisms contained in the other reviews that the female characters are underdeveloped is completely untrue...the characters are one dimensional because they have lived in a sheltered and censored world with no novelty, just as you might lock a toddler in a very large room with 14 toys and 24 books and feed them every day...they would know everything about what was in the room and nothing about what was outside. The characters develop more as they gain exposure to new ideas.
Some of the references and similarities to existing religious mythology may be a little trite, but they don't make the book any less enjoyable, and absolutely no one can argue that such conceits are not common in the genre, although certainly it's more often ancient gods that the Christian God who are so portrayed.
Keep in mind, if you think the names or nature of the technology are silly, or the patois of those outside the enclave contrived, that you really don't know what the future will hold for language or technology, especially in a post apocalyptic scenario...look how disparate modern American English is from, say, Chaucer, Shakespeare or even the King James Bible. It may read silly but it's completely plausible, in my opinion.
In short, lighten up readers! It's science fiction, it's a another world, dystopia though it be. I personally hope it gains enough traction for a sequel, and although I received this copy for free, I will happily pay for the next.

Falling as She Sings A Novel edition by CJ Sursum Religion Spirituality eBooks Reviews
I had a hard time in the beginning with this book. I thought it started out a bit slow. I decided to keep reading because there were tidbits that grabbed my interest. I liked this book. At times it seemed a little slow. I really thought the perspective was very interesting and it addressed many issues. Segregation, equal rights, rape, abortion, religion and discrimination were all addressed in this book. I did not think it preachy at all. I felt that, as a reader, it did cause me to stop and think about how another person might feel in a given situation.
The world building aspect was very well done. The characters were well developed. Grammer and spelling were done well. I recommend this book to anyone over 15. And suggest that the reader keep an open mind as they read. Don't give up on the book, it took me about 3 chapters to really get into it, then I didn't want to put it down.
This was an interesting read, although it does get off to a slow and muddled start. To be honest, I was just about to give up on the book when it started to pick up, and the pace stayed pretty good. It's quite interesting, although numerous characters are annoying. There's also a lot of secrets that people are keeping, which always makes things fun.
Overall I enjoyed it, and am hopeful that the author will write another one. I will definitely read it, because I want to see what happens NEXT after the finale of the book.
I do agree with another reviewer that the SF aspects are sort of superficial (much like in the Eve Dallas series) - they're all just technology that makes things easier, and there's plot holes you could drive a truck through (especially ones that help move along the plot). It's more dystopian than anything else, and it lives up to the tagline on the front "No haven is ever quite heaven" - the characters are constrained in the interests of keeping them safe and "free".
I was excited about the premise of this book. The story was wonderful, but I felt it was not well written. I frequently got the characters confused. I also felt like I was missing parts of the book. It was like getting up to go to the bathroom in a movie and then teying to catch up.
I found this story compelling and hard to put down. Thought-provoking in regards to societal norms and expectations. Pleasantly suprised that there are few spelling and grammer mistakes in comparison to other e-books I have read. Hoping there is a sequel! 0)
A good read overall with some twists and surprises. It is an interesting concept and I understand the reference to the Handmaid's Tale with some reversal of fortune for the genders. It's a good effort for a debut.
I received this great book either free or at a reduced price (I can't remember which now) but I DO remember how much I enjoyed the read. I don't want to forget to say thank you to the author for being so generous with this work.
A rare and wonderful story. So many books tell the same story the same way with just a touch of difference to make it their own. NOW this book is a one of a kind that tells a story adding love, happiness, hurt, and mystery in ways never before.
