A thriller that combines the potential future of genetic and reproductive technology with our ongoing human emotions of fear, insecurity,  ambition, and love. The interwoven stories come together in unexpected ways,  and the end is a twist I didn't see coming until just before the reveal.
The author's background in journalism and bioethics combine with an empathy for those faced with challenges and choices that have the potential to upend their lives.
