Acerca de esta escucha
In 2027, destroying an embryo is considered first-degree murder. Fertility clinics still exist, giving hope and new life to thousands of infertile families, but they have to pass rigorous inspections by the United States Department of Embryo Preservation. Fail an inspection, and you will be prosecuted.
Brilliant young doctor Arianna Drake seems to be thriving in the spotlight: her small clinic surpasses every government requirement, and its popularity has spiked—a sudden, rapid growth that leaves the DEP chief mystified. When he discovers Arianna’s radical past as a supporter of an infamous scientist, he sends undercover agent Trent Rowe to investigate her for possible illegal activity. The secret he finally uncovers will deeply move him—and jeopardize them both.

Historia
A fresh start. That's what Becca hoped the move from New York to Redemption, Wisconsin would be for her troubled family. A way to get her crumbling marriage back on track, and to bond with her difficult 16-year-old stepdaughter. But instead of a new beginning, Becca is thrust into a mysterious past she barely remembers. A past that includes the complications of interacting with her old teenage crush, Daniel, as well as living in her aunt's old house. A house with a violent past. A house the locals swear is haunted.

Historia
The summer in question started out with hot, fun-filled days and new friendships. We had just turned thirteen and had our whole lives ahead of us. But that was before her. Before we became known as the Hixton Five and our lives become defined by one night. It’s hard to believe twenty years have passed since she was locked away. But now she’s free and strange things have started to happen. When I close my eyes, the creeping anxiety and fear is overwhelming and all too real. Because the monster is back, and I know she has a score to settle with us.

My darling little boy Albie adores playing at our new neighbours’ house. And after the terrible year we’ve had, I feel so lucky that we can start over in this perfect place, with new friends who treat Albie like the son they never had. He can’t stop talking about the tree house they’re building him, and the cookies they bake together. But as time passes, something starts to feel wrong. Why don’t they ever open the front door more than a crack? They told me they had no children so who does the small pink tricycle I saw in their hall belong to?

Two women. Many aliases. Meg Williams. Maggie Littleton. Melody Wilde. Different names for the same person, depending on the town, depending on the job. She's a con artist who erases herself to become whoever you need her to be—a college student. A life coach. A real estate agent. Nothing about her is real. She slides alongside you and tells you exactly what you need to hear, and by the time she's done, you've likely lost everything.

The doorbell rings, just days after my beloved husband’s sudden death. I don’t recognise the woman on our doorstep, with her blonde highlights, a diamond bracelet identical to my own and a bouncing baby boy in her arms. As I show her inside, I notice her eyes grow wide as she takes in our spacious hallway, and the big squashy sofas that we all used to pile on. She glances at the silver-framed family photos and my little daughter hiding behind my skirts. She looks at me, her blue eyes serious. ‘I’m sorry’ she says. ‘I am your husband’s girlfriend. And this is his son.'

Reseñas de la Crítica
Good plot but…
Se ha producido un error. Vuelve a intentarlo dentro de unos minutos.
The psychological conflicts faced by the characters were powerful illustrations of those faced by people I know in my own life.
Very enjoyable.
Very compelling plot.

Would you listen to Living Proof again? Why?
Yes. I will go ahead and do so again at some point to more carefully examine the philosophical arguments that lead the main characters to their positions.What did you like best about this story?
The careful crafting of the science and philosophyWhat about Mia Barron’s performance did you like?
She was clear and added plenty to the story with her different voicing. The only drawback was the treble response made it difficult to listen on my car speakers--had to stay on headphones (might be my ears)If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
It Could Happen TomorrowAny additional comments?
A lot going on in this book. Great suspenseful story wrapped around philosophical issues of medical ethics, separation of church and state, validity of appeal to divine authority, faith vs. reason. The characters were believable. I felt I could relate to their struggles, especially when it came to deciding to take a leap from believing in a faith because of your past rather than listening to the reason that your brain wants to use. I could see that she was doing the "Ayn Rand" thing with her fiction (which was actually a plus to me and I was ready for it knowing some of the author's background), but I feel like she did a great job meshing the philosophy into an interesting plot. My fears were that some of the players might have come off as "straw men" but in my opinion the views of the antagonists were at least presented fairly. Another fear was that once reaching some of the philosophical arguments and concluding on the better positions that it might be hammered at the reader. Both of these concerns proved groundless. Well done!Richly Philosophical

Any additional comments?
This story is extraordinarily engaging and compelling. It takes an issue (embryonic stem cell research & treatments) that is often the subject of theoretical political debate, and brings the issue to life with a dramatic plot that expands in detail on the dictatorial government actions that would follow in practice from a formal, legal codification of the principle that life begins at conception. The political system of the year 2027 is a kind of theocratic fascism, in which the events of the plot unfold.One sees the senseless persecution of characters who are subject to the cruel oppression of government agencies such as the Department of Embryo Protection (DEP) and the Department of Embryo and Fetus Protection (DEFP). The reader becomes enraged upon seeing the blind fanaticism of the devout government agents who act to protect embryos -- five day old clusters of undifferentiated cells that merely have the *potential* to become people -- at the expense of threatening to destroy the lives of *actual* people such as the heroine, Arianna Drake, who desperately fights to save her own life as the villainous Agent Dopp of the DEP fights with equal fervor to prevent her from doing so.
Ms. Peikoff shows us, through the logical unfolding of events, the deadly senselessness of an irrational mystic creed imposed by force on man, who by his nature must depend on reason to survive. She also shows us an inspiring picture of the heroism and unyielding persuit of values that rational men (and women) are capable of. And she does this while telling a damn good story with a well integrated plot and interesting characters. I'm now a Kira Peikoff fan and I can't wait to read her next book.
Compelling, entertaining and impossible to put dow

What did you like best about Living Proof? What did you like least?
I am a scientist and most of the science is well described in the novel. As a Christian I take exception to the thought that one can't be a scientist and a Christian at the same time. The novel is full of stereotypical, devout Catholics who are hardline in their attitudes. The author's attempt to see the world as it would be in the future if all the hardline Christians get their way to limit reproductive rights is intriguing but I remain disappointed that the only out is to lose faith.Ok story, over the top Christian Bashing
