FUTURE HOME OF THE LIVING GOD - LOUISE ERDRICH ...

'Erdrich is one of the greatest living American writers' Guardian    Louise Erdrich  the New
York Times bestselling  National Book Award-winning author of LaRose and The Round House  
paints a startling portrait of a young woman fighting for her life and her unborn child against
oppressive forces that manifest in the wake of a cataclysmic event.   The world as we know it
is ending. Evolution has reversed itself  affecting every living creature on earth. Science
cannot stop the world from running backwards  as woman after woman gives birth to infants that
appear to be primitive species of humans. Thirty-two-year-old Cedar Hawk Songmaker  adopted
daughter of open-minded Minneapolis liberals  is as disturbed as the rest of America around
her. But for Cedar  this change is profound and deeply personal. She is four months pregnant. 
Cedar feels compelled to find her birth mother  Mary Potts  an Ojibwe living on the reservation
to understand both her and her baby's origins. As Cedar goes back to her own biological
beginnings  society around her begins to disintegrate  fueled by a swelling panic about the end
of humanity. There are rumors of martial law  of Congress confining pregnant women  of a
registry  and rewards for those who turn these wanted women in.   It will take all Cedar has to
avoid the prying eyes of potential informants and keep her baby safe.   A chilling dystopian
novel both provocative and prescient  Future Home of the Living God is a startlingly original
work from one of our most acclaimed writers: a moving meditation on female agency 
self-determination  biology  and natural rights that speaks to the troubling changes of our
time.
