When a grieving scientist clones his presumed-dead wife to survive the loss, he sets in motion a tragedy he cannot undo — for the woman he loved, the woman he created, and the man who fell in love with her.
Synopsis
DR. FELIX FERREL has devoted his life to two things: his research and his wife, GINA. When Gina travels to Chile on an archaeological expedition and never comes home, Felix is handed a death report and left to drown in silence.
A scientist by instinct, Felix refuses to accept what he cannot prove. After eighteen failed attempts, he succeeds in creating GINA-C — a clone carrying Gina's DNA, her memories, and her face. He moves her into his home, tells himself it is grief. His colleague DR. RAY OKAFOR knows better.
As Ray grows closer to Gina-C — protecting her, teaching her, loving her — the real Gina returns. She was never dead. And now there are two women with the same face, the same history, and an impossible claim on the same life.
When Gina-C discovers she is pregnant and that carrying the child will kill her, she makes a choice no one asked her to make — and walks into the ocean alone, so that the people she loves do not have to watch her be taken apart in a laboratory.
