Synopsis
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 at any time, Jean Bennett races a thousand miles to Canada to get her five 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 this peek inside:
Caro wipes sweat from her forehead with her wrist, keeping the dirt-covered fingers of her glove pointed away from her face. She doesn’t want to streak her cheeks with mud.
“What about angels?” she asks, pulling off her gloves and adjusting her broad-brimmed sun hat.
“Angels?” I laugh. She hasn’t given up, only changed tacks. “What about them?”
“Do you believe in them?”
I look at her angular, still unlined face and wonder why she’s strug¬gling with this idea of deity today. “Why is this important now?”
“I saw something,” she says. “Hovering over the kids yesterday when they were playing in the trees. Something I don’t know how to explain.”
“Heat haze,” I guess. “Northern lights during the day. Electromag¬netic activity caused by sun flares. Auras.”
She lowers her eyes, a signal that she thinks I’m being flippant. In the world of all possible answers, I haven’t stumbled upon the right one.
“It’s a portent.” She stares into my eyes as if to send me a telepathic message. “You know, like Mom said. Something we’re supposed to notice.”
I tense. Our mother was not an oracle I would believe, but whatever Caro saw has meaning to her. I should pay attention instead of making light of it, even though I can’t resist teasing her. She’s always so serious.
“Okay. What does it portend?”
“I did something you’re going to be angry about.”
I stretch my neck, close my eyes to shutter my annoyance, and wait.
