Description:
|
If it wasn’t for the DNA test that Ammy needed for her school science project, then the mix-up may not have come to light. There is no going back from what it reveals – the IVF clinic made a mistake and the Macciones have been raising someone else’s daughter, while the family on the opposite side of the equation have been raising their son Zac. Exploring the effect of the life-altering bombshell on its well-developed and relatable characters, this story ponders the ethics of reproductive technology and the very nature of family.
Comments from BDS Reviewers:"This is an engaging and easy read, with well developed and relatable characters".
"Raises interesting ethical considerations on behalf of the IVF clinic, and fundamental questions about belonging and biology".
"This was a very good read, quite a different plot to anything else I've read".
"A gripping read and thought-provoking, with an unusual plot".
"Excellent character development - the difficulties that face teenagers with their hormones all over the place, are so well portrayed".
"Resolves well with a good ending despite a lot of chaos in between".
