\nThe world as we kn ow it is ending. Evolution has reversed itself\, affecting every living cr eature on earth. Science cannot stop the world from running backwards\, as woman after woman gives birth to infants that appear to be primitive spec ies of humans. Twenty-six-year-old Cedar Hawk Songmaker\, adopted daughter of a pair of big-hearted\, open-minded Minneapolis liberals\, is as distu rbed and uncertain as the rest of America around her. But for Cedar\, this change is profound and deeply personal. She is four months pregnant.
\ nThough she wants to tell the adoptive parents who raised her from infa ncy\, Cedar first feels compelled to find her birth mother\, Mary Potts\, an Ojibwe living on the reservation\, to understand both her and her baby& rsquo\;s origins. As Cedar goes back to her own biological beginnings\, so ciety around her begins to disintegrate\, fueled by a swelling panic about the end of humanity.
\nThere are rumors of martial law\, of Congres s confining pregnant women. Of a registry\, and rewards for those who turn these wanted women in. Flickering through the chaos are signs of increasi ng repression: a shaken Cedar witnesses a family wrenched apart when polic e violently drag a mother from her husband and child in a parking lot. The streets of her neighborhood have been renamed with Bible verses. A strang er answers the phone when she calls her adoptive parents\, who have vanish ed without a trace. It will take all Cedar has to avoid the prying eyes of potential informants and keep her baby safe.
