Sometimes
losing your children is the only way to save them.
The year is 2039.
Chased by
government goons determined to quarantine her and a virus that might kill her

children to safety. On a journey unlike any they’ve ever taken, Jean learns who
she is and what she must do to save her children.

ENJOY AN EXCERPT:
The infection
hit with such ferocity and speed that all public transport had shut down by
the end of my husband’s meeting in DC, sixty-five miles from home. No car, no
commuter train, no way out.
In the five
hours since he’d arrived in the city that morning, police had blockaded roads
and barred highway entrances. Airlines delayed flights and then canceled them.
Residents, under threat of arrest, huddled in their homes, and universities
restricted students to dorms. Government officials shuttered public buildings,
closing, and locking the gates.
Television news
showed black-helmeted National Guardsmen herding panicked tourists back toward
their hotels as they stampeded down unfamiliar streets. Coast Guard cutters
patrolled the Potomac River; helicopters buzzed overhead. From Capitol Hill to
the Ellipse, red lights on Constitution Avenue blinked on and off. Front pages
of the morning newspaper skittered across empty streets.
I waited for
Ted to call.
