OF ONE BLOOD Sarah, Maria, and Mae Ling - three women from three different countries - are brought together as participants in a landmark study of dinosaur bones in the Gobi Desert. Years later, even though their lives have taken dramatically different turns, they meet once again in a brave effort to solve the mystery posed by a terrifying and unknown virus which has gripped the world. Each one of them, having faced down her own demons, ultimately voices the same question: "What can I do to help?" Of One Blood, Soren Brockdorf's first novel, explores the ancient conflicts between science and religion, nature and human culture, and the dynamics of marriage and family.
