Born mid-22nd Century in the gender-fluid fiefdom of Alfond, Province of Maine, New Canada, Mario Guadalupe Ahmed Hernandez gets sent from the domed med-tech city of her birth to a village of farmers and landfill miners just before her 13th birthday. Four years later the City takes her back. Impregnated in a reproductive experiment that goes sideways, she finds herself married for convenience and running for her life to avoid becoming breeding stock for med-tech cities in her region.

Her husband's love, along with the assistance of archangels, saints, friends, and family become her salvation.

She's not the Virgin Mary you learned about in Sunday School!
