Falls the Shadow
Stefanie Gaither
Fiction G129f
When Cate Benson was a kid, her sister, Violet, died. Two hours after
the funeral, Cate’s family picked up Violet’s replacement. Like nothing
had happened. Because Cate’s parents are among those who decided to
give their children a sort of immortality—by cloning them at birth—which
means this new Violet has the same smile. The same perfect face. Thanks
to advancements in mind-uploading technology, she even has all of the
same memories as the girl she replaced.
She also might have murdered the most popular girl in school.
At least, that’s what the paparazzi and the anti-cloning protestors
want everyone to think: that clones are violent, unpredictable monsters.
Cate is used to hearing all that. She’s used to defending her sister,
too. But Violet has vanished, and when Cate sets out to find her, she
ends up in the line of fire instead. Because Cate is getting dangerously
close to secrets that will rock the foundation of everything she
thought was true.
In a thrilling debut, Stefanie Gaither takes readers on a nail-biting
ride through a future that looks frighteningly similar to our own time
and asks: how far are you willing to go to keep your family together?
