Synopsis

"Imprisoned by the totalitarian government, Dr. Benito Espinoza practices for his weekly interrogations by recounting his story to his thirteen-year-old daughter. He tells her about turning his back on his ability to shift his gender from male to female-to Alejandra-to become a scholar in the Grand Library. Most scholars are Residents who inherited their seats and believe Descendants like Ben don't have the intellectual ability to be a person of letters."--
