Anora's Question
Eight-year old Anora and nineteen-year old Sylene are separated by more than just age and distance. Anora lives in a small world of rooms, halls and advanced machinery, where men and women live together in families. Sylene lives in a primitive world of tents, forests, and simple tools, where men are kept in subjugation to women.
Anora asks a simple question that Sylene must answer. What causes a woman to be given a child?
Each girl’s journey starts with this question. But in time Anora realizes that there is a much deeper question at stake. The answer will shake the foundations of both their worlds.

Sugar Scars
Living after the apocalypse really isn’t that hard for most of the survivors. The virus killed all but 1 in 10,000. The few remaining people are left in a world of virtually unlimited resources. Grocery stores overflowing with food and drink. Thousands of empty houses to pick from.
But one survivor, a nineteen-year-old girl, requires more than simple food, water and shelter. As a type 1 diabetic her body desperately needs insulin to stay alive. With civilization gone, no one manufactures it anymore. She hoards all the insulin she can find, but every day marches toward the end of her stash of vials. She has a choice. Accept her fate and death, or tackle the almost insurmountable task of extracting and refining the insulin herself.
Brilliant scientists struggled to make the first insulin. What hope does a high school dropout have?
