This is Book 2 in the YA scifi Devya's Children series. It's highly recommended you experience this series in order: Ashlynn's Dreams, Nadia's Tears, Malia's Miracles, and Varick's Quest. There's also a prequel called The Dark Side of Science and a series of short stories called Ashlynn's Dreams Shorts.
Genre: FICTION / Science Fiction / Genetic EngineeringThis is book 2 in a series. I'm in the midst of getting the audiobooks settled. Will promote more once the combo 1-4 is ready on audio.
Dr. S. said I ought to I write down anything and everything that worries me. Trouble is, since Daddy Three found me and showed me how to use my Dream Gift, there’s a great heap of worry to be found all over the place. Nana said worry beyond a certain point only weakens the soul, and Nadia agreed in sentiment if not actual say-so. That means they both said the same thing using different words.
Daddy Three, Dr. Dean Devya, Quinn, Father—as Nadia calls him—confuses me, which I count unsettling enough to file under worrisome. The man’s a weird mix of super-smart, real ambitious, and crazy with a side of cruelty that can steal your breath away. I asked Nadia why some people call him Quinn, and she said it means “counsel.” I guess that’s how he sees himself ’cause he’s the driving force behind a team of scientists who seek his counsel. That means they ask him questions and he answers or questions ’em back until they solve their problems. Miss D. used to do that a lot; it got mighty frustrating.
Dr. S. wants to know why Dr. Devya worries me. I find it disturbing that he feels humans are collections of genes that can be tinkered with at will. I ain’t ashamed of what I am, but I can’t square what he’s done with the notion that God forms babies in wombs. Does being lab grown mean we ain’t human? Writing the question makes it sound dumb, but I’m serious. What am I?
Deep debates aside, Momma and Isaac worry me for more mundane reasons. Isaac Spencer Blairington is my new baby brother. He’s loud, cranky, and demanding, but Momma, Nadia, and Nana say that’s normal for a baby. He’s cute if you can catch him at a time when he ain’t redder than a fire engine. He gets that way when he’s full into a shrieking fit. Those hurt ’cause the little guy’s got good lungs.
