YA
Purchased as a surrogate daughter for the governor's wife, clone Elysia lives a privileged life. But as she navigates her way through life as a teenager and a clone, Elysia mulls over why words like insurrection aren't in her language database. While the writing can be uneven, Cohn's sci-fi coming-of-age story is riveting, and the sense of place she's crafted is remarkably potent.
