If you had an ability that could save lives but that would target you as different, would you use it? If the price of living a normal life was ignoring part of yourself, would you pay that price?
Ten-year-old Fresno Bakersfield Ingersoll really wants a normal life. It's a hard ask when she's saddled with a horrible name, an absent father, and a flaky mother who moves her family every year. And then there's her own forbidden ability to hear the voices of unborn babies. Resolutely, Fresno changes her name, moves in with her stable grandmother and does her best to block the songs of the babies.
Years pass. Fresno is now Clare and living the normal life she has created. Then her father resurfaces and her mother shares traumatic experiences with her, shaking Clare's world. When her long-hidden baby radar is needed to save the life of her college roommate's baby, Clare's normal life may vanish forever.
