Book - Future Home of the Living God: A Novel, by Louise Erdrich

Paperback, 270 pages, published 2017 Excellent used condition, gently loved. There's a tiny tear on a back page but otherwise wear is cosmetic and minimal (see all pics). "The world as we know it is ending: evolution has reversed itself, affecting every creature on earth--and woman after woman gives birth to infants that appear to be of a more primitive species. Cedar Hawk Songmaker, the adopted daughter of Minneapolis liberals, is as disturbed and uncertain as the rest of America. But for Cedar, this change is profound and deeply personal: she is 4 months pregnant. Though she wants to tell her parents, Cedar first feels compelled to find her birth mother, an Ojibwe living on the reservation, to understand her--and her baby’s--origins. As Cedar goes back to her biological beginnings, society begins to disintegrate, fueled by a swelling panic about extinction. There are rumors of martial law, of Congress confining pregnant women. Of a registry, and rewards for those who turn in these wanted women. Signs of repression increase: Cedar witnesses a family wrenched apart violently by police in a parking lot. The streets of her neighborhood are renamed with Bible verses. When she calls her parents, a stranger answers the phone--her parents have vanished. It will take all of Cedar's strength and skill to avoid the prying eyes of potential informants, and keep her baby safe.... A chilling dystopian novel on female agency, determination, biology, and natural rights."💥🏚️🚨
