Would anything change if women ruled the world? In a devastated country, those in charge rule by fear, inequality, and oppression. Rhia, a strong and independent sea captain, just wants to keep her head down and do her job, until she finds herself trapped in a re-education facility designed to help people fit into the rules of the New Way Forward. The warden claims to be guiding those in her care, but Rhia quickly sees the cracks in the system. As she is faced with torture and brainwashing, those cracks become gaping holes that threaten to pull her down into the depths of despair. Can Rhia resist the slow subversion of re-education and become the reluctant hero the new world needs? RUN Ragged is the thrilling second story by the award-winning author of Women's Work. This brilliantly imagined novel is both a scathing satire and a profoundly poignant look at the price we are willing to pay for peace and what we are willing to ignore to keep our conscience clear.

Review "Aguila's well crafted dystopian world serves as an upside-down mirror of today's political issues. Suspenseful, disturbing, yet hard to put down, RUN Ragged... points a spotlight at the pitfalls of our world today." -Maren Higbee, author of Lana Fray and the Grand Plan "...A harrowing examination of the swinging pendulum of gender oppression... poses (questions) that invite contemplation long after the book is over. A strong storyline, complex characters, and chilling exploration of the politics of power make this a gripping read." -Petula Parker, author of Kate's Escape from the Billable Hour
From the Inside Flap "Heat rippled above the deck, bending the light into waves and distorting the docks and cranes that jutted out from the distant shore. Rhia squinted through the glare and gently tugged on the wheel, guiding the Elizabeth Maru, her thirty-two-foot gillnetter, toward the regional trade. She wiped a drip of sweat from her temple with the shoulder of her faded T-shirt and leaned forward in the patched leather captain's chair. The old springs groaned. Her left knee bounced up and down, a subconscious tell of the nervousness that accompanied each of her biweekly trips to Piper Point. She was close now. ... "I'm saying women and men should have worked together," William said. "I'm saying you can't rule this country and call it equality when half the people don't have a voice. And I'm saying you are just as guilty as the rest of them, because for the last thirteen months, people like you knew I was in here, and did nothing to stop it." "I want to stop it! That's what I'm trying to figure out! I want to help you, but I don't know how." William shook his head again. "No, you just want to get yourself out. You'll get out and you won't look back." "That's not true." "Everybody says that, but when you get out, you won't want to make waves and risk getting sent back here. You'll keep your head down and forget about us." ... Captain Banks leaned on the rail of her guard tower, high above the dozens of inmates making their way back to their cells and boxes. She'd been there most of the afternoon, keeping watch over the women and men below. She'd seen Rhia seek out William, hours before. She'd watched as they moved from box to box together throughout the afternoon. She'd noticed how close they stood, how they smiled and talked as they worked, the way they touched each other. She'd noticed. And she didn't like it."

Women's Work is empowering and exhilarating. (It) challenges gender as we know it: a truly ambitious and largely indicative text of past and present theory and preoccupations. A commendable book, a timely perspective and critique on the thriving human condition and state of gender affairs and women's rights world-wide. Kari Aguila is a pioneer for crafting such an overdue and particularly necessary contribution for readers everywhere. -The San Francisco Book Review Kari Aguila didn't even miss a beat. Women's Work is almost immediately engaging, with a story that moves at a clip. It's easily readable while at the same time raising questions and issues that are bound to linger with the reader well after the book's final period. -Beth Colvin, The Baton Rouge Advocate 5 Stars! Winner of the IndieReader Approval! The climactic ending involves a plot twist where the beliefs of the new order are questioned and the neighborhood comes to grips with the tenuous relationship between safety and violence. WOMEN'S WORK is a well-written book with a moving story inhabited by believable characters. The emotions are genuine and the reactions to the social upheaval around them, while sometimes surprising, add even more credence to the story line. If the purpose of WOMEN'S WORK is to make a reader think, Aguila has achieved this. -Ed Bennett, IndieReader

Now a runner for several communities she carries their goods to port in exchange for what they need. The madame President is shouting her propaganda, that things are flourishing and all is right with the world. And for the most part Rhia agrees, but the things she doesn't agree on could get her in trouble. Sent her away at the very least.Rhia is caught with a man and woman, who were helping her after she washed up on the shore. A night of storms, left her boat in the sea, while she landed on the shore. They are caught and sent to The Center for their betterment. But is it really better? They are held like prisoners and forced to comply or be punished. There were rumors about bad things happening to men, but they were just rumors, right? Now Rhia is seeing it first hand. She is witness to it and bares some of it. Her only hope is escape. But can she make it? Will she be able to save herself and her few friends?This is a well written book, that captures you from the beginning. We met Rhia in Women's Work. Now this is her story. How she survives and how she see's the new world. The changes women have made. Corrupt just like men. But can anything be done? Only time will tell.

You should definitely pick this one up By s2015 Huge kudos to the author for taking on tough subjects with an unusual perspective and in an engaging way. From my perspective, this book was a step forward for the author - tighter, cleaner and more accessible writing, while maintaining the intriguing premise initiated in the first book and providing thought-provoking suspense. I loved that "Run Ragged" stands on its own with a strong and individual protagonist, but still ties up enough loose ends from the first book (in a realistic and not overly sappy manner) to be satisfying, and to solidify it's position in the world the author is creating, which brings to mind "The Handmaids Tale" and "1984". I loved how the story was sprung from the perspective of a different protagonist than the first, and several years after the timeline of the first book (not necessarily picking up directly where the last left off). I hope to see more from this author in the future, and I will be interested to see if she chooses to do this by following Rhia's storyline, or by branching off on a tangent with Laura, as it seems she might be setting up to do. This is definitely worth a read.

Run Ragged takes us further into the New Way Forward and provides more insight into previously unanswered questions about the Gr By Judith A Gregoire Aguilia has done it again with another suspenseful page-turner. Run Ragged takes us further into the New Way Forward and provides more insight into previously unanswered questions about the Great War, the new laws that followed and the exchange of power from men to women. Just like the original Women’s Work that gave us our first glimpse into this dystopian world, characters are developed to a point of feeling at one with their world and their struggles. The plot line is more consistent throughout the entire book, without any lulls in the action or lulls in continuing to discover the world Aguilia has created. I couldn’t put it down and thoroughly enjoyed Run Ragged.
