V blízkej budúcnosti svet zasiahne vírus, ktorý spôsobí neplodnosť u všetkých starších ako osemnásť rokov. Dospievajúci sa tak stávajú najcennejšími členmi spoločnosti, pričom budúcí rodičia súperia o „koncepčné zmluvy“ s najkrajšími a najchytrejšími dievčatami. Tento futuristický pohľad na tehotenstvo dospievajúcich ostro a vtipne skúma etické otázky, spoločenské dopady a osobné dilemy v tomto radikálne zmenenom svete. Príbehy sú napínavé, myšlienkovo podnetné a desivo uveriteľné.
In 2036 New Jersey, when teens are expected to become fanatically religious wives and mothers or high-priced surrogettes for couples made infertile by a widespread virus, sixteen-year-old identical twins Melody and Harmony find in one another the courage to believe they have choices.
"Melody and Harmony are twins who were separated at birth and lived different lives - but who are each due to deliver sets of twins on the same day. In a future where only teens can "bump", or give birth, babies mean money, status, and freedom. Cursed by their own popularity, the girls are obsessively tracked by their millions of fans, who have been eagerly counting down the days to the births. Without a doubt they are two of the most powerful pregnant teens on the planet, and there's only one thing they could do that would make them more famous than they already are - tell the truth"--Jacket.
