When Mothers Dream

Award-winning writer Brenda Cooper celebrates the strength of the female in many guises: mother, daughter, engineer, biologist, and more.  From a young dreamer who fights to protect the endangered Southern Resident Killer Whales to two older women whose grandchildren are being raised by AIs to a future scientist who tries to keep the world safe from bioengineered creatures, When Mothers Dream explores the edges of what can be possible if we celebrate the strength of women. The collection mixes new and previously published speculative work. The bouquet of science fiction, fantasy, and poetry is tied together with a thread of hope and a colored with a touch of anger.  It includes the voices of whales. It is a book for our times. When Mother's Dream is about fighting for our future.  Women can save us all.
