Find books by plot?
Looking for a book my daughter read some time between 1988 and 1993. Title was not "Beyond the Gates" but it was something like that or had the sense of that meaning. It was a sort of fantasy story set in an unspecified society and time. The location is a town/city surrounded by walls. Protagonist was a young girl who felt she didn't really belong but was going to have to decide her path in life soon. People whisper about what exists outside the walls but are afraid to go out. The stories they tell about what is bad about what's out there sort of appeal to her despite her fear. In the end, she decides to leave and goes out the gates into her future.
