Gathering Blue by Lois Lowry

Lowry, has created another world in which society has regressed from technologically advanced to nearly, primitive.

Society is governed by strong rules that others must adhere to. There is deceit and little to no tolerance for the weak, who are cast aside like trash or killed. Kira is among the weak, she has a deformed leg and this book is her story.

The strong characters and plot will keep you reading until the very last page. This is a smallish book and you should expect to finish it in one reading.
