Due to overpopulation, Earthlings have left their home planet and found new lives on other planets much to the displeasure of the Aliens who see humans as a nuisance. The universal government recommends that the humans be fruitful, but then the new planets also start to overfill. Rich families get the idea to pay poor women to have their children for them. Eventually, it’s considered distasteful to have your own children.
When the Aliens feel that the humans are taking up too much room, a war starts. After several decades, the war is over. Nevertheless, the universal government puts a stop to children buying, making it illegal to purchase a child. All the extra children are sent to orphanages in great numbers. Children who reach the age of sixteen without being adopted are put to sleep, killing them. Children are seen as a nuisance. They are treated like pets. Some treat their children well, others don’t.
Brandon Reeves lost his wife in the war. She had been pregnant with his child. He got his revenge and made a name as the best space captain in the universe. Unlike everyone else, he believes that children are needed. He trains them like soldiers to be prepared for when war breaks out again. He adopts children based on the heritage of a child’s parentage, knowing that genetics will produce the best army for him. But then he meets the girl without a name and is fascinated with her. On impulse, he adopts the child and takes her home and puts her in his strict training program. Only perfection is good enough for him, and mistakes are punished with hard spankings. When she is older, he will find a husband for her who will give him the strongest genetic match.
This book contains spanking scenes and romantic scenes. If such things offend you, don’t buy this book.

“Run! Run!” she whispered.

“Hide in the woods before Daddy gets home!”

I sprinted across the field and down into a gully and along a path by rock-faces where Croft Run brings cool sweet water, even in summer. After a time, I found my way to the family cemetery and the safety of the hillock where I could see anyone approaching from any direction, even at night.

Exhausted, I stopped at the mossy log, got on my knees, folded my hands, and prayed to have the wickedness taken out of me.

And then I heard the coughing and sputtering of Daddy’s pick-up truck coming down the wash-board road. Even this far away, the early evening otherwise calm, I could hear my mother shouting angrily as my father drove up. I did not hear the words, but by their tone I knew what she must have told him.

A tale of awakening and self-discovery.

Virginia Hall’s heartwarming novella captures the hope and determination of a child in rural Appalachia on an arduous journey of gender and identity.
