Hidden Gifts

To most people, Deborah Marcum was simply the adopted daughter of a Methodist minister and his family. What only a handful of people knew was that Deborah's real parents were at the heart of two mysterious 'Events' that transformed much of the American mid-Atlantic region before the couple disappeared. Only one person knows that Deborah has inherited her father's incredible gift. But all of the technological hardware that appeared after the 'Events' were not the only gifts to come out of those events. Thousands of brilliant children born less than a year after the Second Event are beginning to make their presence known. These polymaths will save millions in the aftermath of a nuclear autumn spawned by an Indo-Pakistani nuclear exchange. What else that they plan on doing has yet to be determined as their true numbers also remain hidden.
