Dawn, a next-generation synthetic human, has never spoken and has never left her room. That is until Nathaniel arrives...
When Dawn hears the familiar sound of footsteps descending the stairs into her room, she fears the worst. But the man who enters is not like the other men she has known. Nathaniel talks to her as though she is a real person. When Nathaniel describes a world she has never known, Dawn begins to imagine a freedom she has never experienced.
