In this beautifully crafted novel, McDowell delves into the lives of ordinary people facing extraordinary challenges, weaving a tapestry of interconnected stories that resonate with universal themes of redemption, vulnerability, and the quest for meaning.

In an age when biotechnology stretches the limits of ethics and legality, a man, woman, and young child are caught up in a heavily funded project based on the work of a brilliant geneticist. But bio-research firms, Big Pharm, governments, and black marketeers see a way to become wealthy and powerful. Kidnappings, payoffs, political intrigue, and murder follow the test subjects, who must decide what to do with the data and the lives that have been destroyed—and find a way to save the child.
