Now the kids and I are reading Exodus together every morning in school. I think there is such a challenge to us when you look at what the …

The story is about a genetically altered woman who is fleeing government agents and bounty hunters. They know a key about her that she doesn’t — and it’s the reason she’s being chased. …
