The search for Danyael will lead Dee and Dum from the sheltered protection of the Mutant
Affairs Council and into the violent, gang-controlled heart of Anacostia. Ensnared by Danyael’s
complicated network of friends and enemies, Dee makes her stand in a political and social war

spray, do against the super-powered mutants who dominate the Genetic Revolution?

America, nevertheless, is ripe for change. Exhausted by decades of belligerence between
humans and their genetic derivatives, the clones, in vitros, and mutants, society is on the verge
of falling apart or growing up. Which path will it choose, and can a mere human, her sassy
attitude and smart mouth notwithstanding, light the way to a better future?

In her quest to help her brother become normal, Dee will learn what it means to be
extraordinary. When the silence ends, the celebration of life, love, joy, and hope will inspire feet
to dance and hearts to sing.
