This book is about Gabe's mom, (the little dude Jonas took with him).
OK, so remember in the first book how the town Jonas lives in is really insane and particular. So Claire, (Gabe's mom) is assigned a job as Birthmother, which is at it sounds. She basically produces the Products. which are children. The only problem is, she does not get to keep her child, it is only assigned to a family that suites it, because that is how the town works. (Yeah, I know, awful) so when her little son is taken away from her, you can imagine her anguish. During her delivery, there are some unusual complications that Claire has to endure, and after her delivery, she is taken away from the Birthmother role and put into the job of the Fish Hatchery. Somewhere in between getting transferred from jobs, Claire forgets to start taking the Pills again after her pregnancy, so she starts having heartfelt feelings once more. Most of the woman who delivered did not care if their newborn was taken away from them, but for Claire, it was differant. Since she had feelings, she automatically loved her newborn, even before setting eyes on him. This of course, is just the beautiful nature of mothers. So when her little guy is tragically taken away from her, she decides to seek him out in the Nursery, keeping his ID number in mind (thirty-six). Naturally, she finds him, and immediately yearns to be with him forever and ever. However, that is not possible considering the tight circumstances. She instead pays him several visits, short and sweet.
However, once Claire discovers that her child (whom she thinks is called Abe, though his real name is Gabe) has some "problems" to him and will be taken away from the community. What will Claire do?
