This book was a heart-stopping, edge of your seat, psychological thriller! I couldn't turn the pages fast enough and devoured it in one sitting! It was a fantastic read!
It's about a woman, Claire, who passes on a maternally inherited mitochondrial mutation to her son - who ultimately dies from complications as a young boy. Claire and her husband want to have another child but she doesn't want to run the risk of having another baby who inherits this disease. So, she seeks out Dr. Robert Nash who is working on creating the first child with three genetic parents, which could eliminate inherited diseases, albeit illegally - and volunteers for the experiment.
This decision turns her life upside down and she, along with Dr. Nash, find themselves on the run, in order to protect this child from a woman who wants nothing more than to destroy them.
