Smugglers (Book One of the Maskheads Trilogy)

On Easter Sunday in 2012, one of the last women on earth died on live television. Her last message: "You did this to us."

Andy has never known a world where she didn't have to hide the fact that she was born female. Androgyny isn't an identity: it's a survival mechanism. But when one of the last women on Earth dies, it's time for her to go fully on the run. Racing to a safehouse with her gruff godfather Mr. Fu, Andy meets people who doubt the narrative that the virus that killed all the women was just a mutation. What if it was a conspiracy? And even if it was, what do we do with the truth years after it happened?

Brit McGinnis brings forward a speculative fiction story for the social media age, where secrets are a way of life and everyone is dealing with the aftermath of personal loss. A young heroine must come to grips with her post-apocalypse world, finding her place and gender identity within it.

That is, if she can make it all the way to safety.
