Mary lives in a world that consists of only her small town. Her town is surrounded by a fence that keeps out the Unconsecrated (i.e. zombies). The Unconsecrated seek to get to the living, and constantly try to breech the fence. Everyone accepts their presence and accepts their lives within the center of the Forest of Hands and Teeth, except Mary. Mary's mother always told her about before the Return, when there were no Unconsecrated, when they could freely travel outside of their towns. Mary's mother told her about the ocean, which Mary longs to see. When Mary's mom becomes infected by the Unconsecrated, Mary's life becomes a jumbled mess, which ultimately leads to the demise of her village. Mary and her loved ones struggle to survive and to determine if there is someplace outside the Forest of Hands and Teeth.
Some slow parts, but overall a good read. Pretty depressing though.
