Synopses & Reviews
Daisy, otherwise known as Daze, hears her dead mother's voice--and this time it's not coming from an old home movie her brother is watching, or from her own troubled mind. This time Daze has discovered her scientist father's latest secret project: a lifelike replica of her mother's head that looks, talks, smiles, and even moves just like Mom. But when Daze's dad starts seeing another woman and wants to dismantle the project, Daze tries to do what she couldn't years ago: save her mother's life. Science, family, and emotions converge in this powerful and fascinating story about loss that challenges every concept of relationships.
