Publisher Description

Publishers Weekly praises this debut novel by Texan poet Jillian Weise as "ambitious, provocative, and wildly inventive." It's 2015, and Anne Hatley is leaving her North Carolina home for a Long Island research lab called the Colony. Anne, who was born with a genetic mutation that left her only one leg, will be donating stem cells for gene research in exchange for a new leg. But after meeting others with deficiencies, including carriers of the "suicide gene" and "obesity gene," Anne questions how much genetics really determine a person's life.

"I believed every minute of this book. The narrator is likable in a flawed, human way. It's unselfconciously clever and I love the way she breaks up the narrative. People I like would like this "

    " I'm reviewing this and 2 others to decide what to read next. If I just go by the back cover, I have to wonder if it's Dublin material. Sorry, this is not for me. I read some reviews of it and I will not be putting it on my list to read later. "
