The Deerwhere Awakening (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781590929506)

Exploring the possibilities of being human, across three genders and beyond, The Deerwhere Awakening is a timely story for our present. Deerwhere is the culmination of humanity's search for Utopia. After centuries of wars, overpopulation, political disruption, and global pandemics, there followed a New Confederation of Peace: of work, of service to others, and of recreation. Together in Deerwhere, survivors were male, female, and uniale. The colony quarantine kept three genders safe. Uniales embody all the maleness and femaleness of the human genome. Through epigenetics, they have the best qualities of both sexes and all the races. The Deerwhere Awakening follows Noral, the uniale wifand of nes family unit, a trio of adults. Their idyllic lives in Deerwhere have all needs addressed by the Keeper, the Deerwhere Quantum Computer. All needs, but one. Confronted with the Confederation's Third Option, Noral can no longer tolerate the dictates of a "perfect society." The Deerwhere uniales must test their own loyalty towards the culture that is Deerwhere-a culture they must define for themselves.
