2 editions

The usual dystopic tale of being the mother of a clone, but with a twist to the ending.

In a future dystopia, the head of a one corporation ensures her legacy by growing clones of herself and raising them as she was raised. The story is told from the viewpoint of a person who was chosen as the clone's host, but miscarries, causing another person to be chosen to host the clone. Both live together, and as the clone's birth approaches, the person is resigned to being discarded after the birth. But external events intrude, and now both are forced to run away from a hostile takeover and to plan a different future for the clone.
