The New Year's Resolution of Greta Baker - Paperback
by Helen Trepelkov (Author)
In a 22nd century world-decimated by pandemics and pollution-quantum computing allows the charting of optimal individual life courses supposed to produce the healthiest and most successful human beings. Parents, lacking the necessary resources, have to cede their children's upbringing to the State. Only several couples a year are granted the right to independent parenthood upon undergoing a rigorous selection process.
In this draconian society, Greta, an idealistic journalist, and her husband, Greg, an ambitious virologist, are about to apply for this right. Due to her viciously competitive nature, her best friend Susan, a savvy charity manager, and her husband, Mike, a computer whiz who never doubts her decisions, immediately follow suit. As the contest unfurls, the two women find themselves caught in a conflict that threatens to destroy their friendship and their marriages. The State, led by investigator Arianna, is carefully considering the merits of both couples.
What will be the State's decision, and what values will it be based on? Will the outcome alter the protagonists forever? And will Greta's New Year's resolution change everything?
