Where Late The Sweet Birds Sang

Description

The Sumner family can read the signs: the droughts and floods, the blighted crops, the shortages, the rampant diseases and plagues and, above all, the increasing sterility all point to one thing.

Men and women must clone themselves for humanity to survive. But what then?
