Sixteen-year-old Calliope Littleton is hiding something. A few things, actually. While it's public knowledge that she's switcherborne, only her parents know she's immune to the government-mandated drug meant to suppress her switching abilities. No one has a clue that she caused the accident leaving Jamie Mulligan, their school's star cross-country athlete, unable to walk. If anyone found out she's secretly letting him use her body to run again, she'd be in massive trouble. Cal is taking a huge risk, what with the outspoken leader of the anti-switcherborne movement running for president of the United States, and the government organization that monitors switcherborne activities investigating Jamie's accident. But when Jamie decides to use Cal's body for more than they agreed to, it ignites a chain of events that could destroy both of their lives. BODY OF ORIGIN is a genre-bending, high-concept novel that explores prejudice and acceptance in a world where some are born with the ability to literally step into another's shoes. Cal's story is for readers in tune with today's political climate and passionate about the fight for human rights, who love speculative concepts, thrilling fabulism, and a touch of romance.
