Kate Jarvik Birch je autorka, ktorej tvorba sa vyznačuje vizuálnou obraznosťou a mágiou, odrážajúcou jej umelecké zázemie. Jej diela sa často ponárajú do snových a fantastických tém, čím čitateľov prenášajú do iných svetov. Birch skúma hĺbku ľudskej predstavivosti a premieňa ju na rozprávanie, ktoré je očarujúce aj podnetné. Jej príbehy zanechávajú trvalý dojem, pretože zachytávajú éterickú krásu sveta a ducha.*
Ella, a genetically engineered pet, escapes to Canada seeking freedom but finds it just as confining. Her flight sparks danger for other pets, and as she navigates the black market to rescue her love, Penn, she risks everything to expose a dark breeding program. Failure means dire consequences for all.
As soon as the government passed legislation allowing humans to be genetically engineered and sold as pets, the rich and powerful rushed to own beautiful girls like Ella. Trained from birth to be graceful, demure, and above all, perfect, these "family companions" enter their masters' homes prepared to live a life of idle luxury. Ella is happy with her new role as playmate for a congressman's bubbly young daughter, but she doesn't expect Penn, the congressman's handsome and rebellious son. He's the only person who sees beyond the perfect exterior to the girl within. Falling for him goes against every rule she knows...and the freedom she finds with him is intoxicating.
