At ten years old, she’s never had a friend beside the doctor who helped her escape a laboratory cage; never had a father or mother outside of her dreams.

Then one day, a child he could not have imagined crosses his path, changing his notions of family and of humanity.But Matt and Pearl still have to live with the world, and the people who will stop at nothing to unravel the mystery of Pearl's young life, even if that means taking it away.
