Candas Jane Dorsey returns with a literary SF parable about a household of political outcasts in a mid-western Canadian city in a near future when political and social conservatism dominate society. That humanoid alien infants have been brought to Earth to be given into the care of major Earth governments is stunning but distant news - until one of them comes to live in the house, with all the attendant government surveillance. This is also the story of one bisexual woman who believes that humans can live together in better ways.
