She's about to fight for a universe she didn't know existed. Emma Faraday's sleep is haunted by grisly nightmares. The college student is convinced her over-active imagination is to blame. That is, until her father, an African American research scientist, discovers her journal and reveals Emma's dreams are repressed memories. When her mother was alive, they traveled with Emma to an alternate universe, where they helped create antidotes to chemical weapons used to experiment on minority citizens. In that alien realm, every human has an identical counterpart-and Emma's twin was the face of the resistance who died fighting for the cause. Without her as a beacon of hope, plans to overthrow their tyrannical government are sure to fail. Now Emma must find the strength to be the hero they need. Or is she destined to follow in her doppelgänger's footsteps and pay for freedom with her life?
