Böcker av Craig Baldwin

Punk, Slick, Dumpy, and Sweet—as they were known in the group home they grew up in—are diverse in genetic backgrounds but united in one tragedy: they are all survivors of a medical experiment that salvaged aborted fetuses. Now, as a civil and racial war engulf America, the four find themselves on their own quests, namely, to find the families who cast them aside and, ultimately, to make the family they never had.Craig Baldwin started writing Posterity: The Story of Our Future’s Past during the Roe vs. Wade Supreme Court hearing and Baldwin’s pediatrics residency as a medical student. Posterity became a moral odyssey for him. Decades later, the story remains fresh. Posterity is the story of complex, fully developed, and very human characters, even though they were thrown away before they could launch in life. In the end, their salvation is in reproduction and the creation of a loving warm and complicated family. That they could do so is exactly the point Posterity. Indeed, it is the point of humanity.
