(It’s also very important to the Families to make donation a safe practice. While Penny daydreams and makes plans of leaving, there are actual big things going on in this world – there is a ton of talk about organ donation-specific legislation, which could mean big changes for the Landlows, their business practices, and their cash flow. It is an isolating life, even living among a family that is as loving as hers.

Penny rarely has a chance to interact with other young people – when she does, there is no touching, no hugging, no hand-holding or even side-hugs, none of the touching that healthy people take for granted. She cannot do these things because her family goes to extremes to keep her safe, to keep her delicate skin from bruising and bleeding. A dangerous autoimmune disorder keeps Penny inside the family estate, under the watchful eye of her parents and private physician, but more than anything Penny wants to leave her family’s estate, to wander around the city streets among the pedestrians, to attend a regular school with actual students, to eat at a restaurant. Penny has pretty much everything she wants at her disposal because money is no object, but she cannot have the one thing she wants the most and that is her freedom. This book features Penny Landlow who is a frail young girl, the daughter of one of the most influential crime families out there – they deal in black-market organ transplanting, which is equal parts horrifying and intriguing.
