In a post-war world, where reproduction is strictly controlled and transgressions severely punished, they are society's rejects. Unwanted and unloved, they are raised in an orphanage until age twelve, then taken beyond the Boundary and left to fend for themselves, to survive or perish.
One child was different, though he didn't know it. He was wanted, he was loved, and he was hidden for three months. But reason prevailed. A third child meant a lifetime of concealment, a lifetime of fear and loneliness, and discovery would mean social and financial ruin for his parents and siblings, so one rainy night, his mother did what she must. As her heart broke, she walked up the path to the orphanage and surrendered him.
Wild Children is a story of abandonment and survival, of hope and determination, and of a love that refused to die.
