Summary: Claire Abramsâs dreams became a nightmare when she passed on a genetic mutation that killed her little boy. Now she wants a second chance to be a mother, and finds it in Robert Nash, a maverick fertility doctor who works under the radar with Jillian Hendricks, a cunning young scientist bent on making her markâand seducing her boss.
Claire, Robert, and Jillian work together to create the worldâs first baby with three genetic parentsâan unprecedented feat that could eliminate inherited disease. But when word of their illegal experiment leaks to the wrong person, Robert escapes into hiding with the now-pregnant Claire, leaving Jillian to serve out a prison sentence that destroys her future.
Ten years later, a spunky girl named Abigail begins to understand that all is not right with the reclusive man and woman she knows as her parents. But the familyâs problems are only beginning. Jillian, hardened by a decade of jealousy and loss, has returnedâand nothing will stop her from reuniting with the man and daughter who should have been hers.

My thoughts: I feel like this had potential to be a really cool sci-fi book but it just kind of fell flat. I didnât like any of the characters at all, they just continually hide secrets and lied to one another. I found it really frustrating that not a single character could be honest. The concept was really cool and unique. I enjoyed the switching timelines and perspectives but the characters are what I really didnât enjoy about this one.
