The sleepy little town of Jamesford has become a national battleground of faith and science, hatred, and hope; and Eleanor, the girl whose life depends on not being noticed, is at the center of it all. Trusting David with the secret of her true identity, Eleanor tries to keep the promise she made her mother to rejoin humanity, even if Eleanor not may not be human.

After learning her past and seeing the terrible tragic history of her kind, Eleanor must conclude she is toxic, a cause of pain and destruction. For everyone’s own good, she will disappear forever.

But now her mother is sick and David has returned. The only friend she’d ever had, the only other person who knows her secret, is back.
