Life Blood
Thirty-eight-year-old filmmaker Morgan Smyth James has a successful career, but she's missing the one thing she wants most: a child. After years of devastating infertility and a painful breakup, Morgan focuses on directing her first feature film about adoption, hoping to heal her shattered dreams.
But when her documentary interviews lead her to Children of Light, an exclusive and secretive New Age adoption agency, Morgan notices a terrifying pattern. The agency provides perfect, healthy, beautiful babies in record time-but two of the adopted infants look exactly alike, despite being born months apart. And both are marked by cryptic, matching amulets.
Driven by her own desperate maternal longing and a journalist's relentless curiosity, Morgan investigates the charismatic and enigmatic Dr. Alex Goddard, the guru behind the Quetzal Manor clinic. What she uncovers is a sprawling conspiracy that connects an armed thug on the streets of New York, illegal fertility sciences, and her own cousin's mysterious, coma-inducing accident in the jungles of Guatemala.
James Harvey's Life Blood is a gripping medical thriller that asks the ultimate question: How far would you go to create the perfect family, and what dark price are you willing to pay for a miracle?
