Publisher's Synopsis
Dr. Chen Yunbo is a brilliant researcher working in a secret Chinese Communist Party research facility to extend the lifespans of senior Party cadre using fetal stem cells. She is overlooked and underestimated because of her gender, but breaks free of a gender binary construct to make a revolutionary breakthrough. Her father falls ill with a degenerative neurological disorder that Dr. Chen's therapy could cure, but that therapy is reserved for the elites. Will she try to save her father and betray the Communist Party's secrets? What will this mean for her and for China? Although it is fiction, this book is a must read for anyone seeking to understand the Chinese Communist Party and the dilemmas and complexities of living and working under an authoritarian regime that strives to protect itself above all else.
