Future Home of the Living God

In this story, evolution has reversed. New generations of plants, animals, and humans are being born as primitive ancestors rather than modern species. Cedar Hawk Songmaker, a pregnant Ojibwe woman adopted by white Minneapolis liberals, finds herself at the center of a societal collapse as the government begins detaining pregnant women to control the birth of these prehistoric infants. Cedar flees to her biological family’s reservation, navigating a landscape of religious extremism and surveillance. The narrative follows her attempts to preserve her identity and her child’s future while the biological foundations of the world unravel into an unpredictable past.

Readers interested in the intersection of reproductive rights and environmental catastrophe will find value in this depiction of a fragile social order. It appeals to those who study how indigenous communities maintain sovereignty when central governments turn toward totalitarianism during crises. The reader gains a visceral understanding of domestic isolation and the logistical realities of escaping state-mandated confinement. The book leaves the audience with a stark perspective on the fragility of biological progress and the ways political structures weaponize biology against personal autonomy.
