Growing up without knowing who her parents are. One day in 1963 she is strangely attracted to a drifter. She falls in love with him. But just when things are finally looking up a series of disasters strike. First, she becomes pregnant by the drifter, who then disappears. Second, during the complicated delivery, doctors find that Jane has both sets of sex organs, and to save her life, they are forced to surgically convert "her" to a "him." A mysterious stranger kidnaps her baby from the delivery room.<BR/><BR/>Reeling from these disasters, rejected by society, scorned by fate, "he" becomes a drunkard and drifter. Not only has she/he lost her lover, but he has lost his only child as well. Years later, in 1970, he stumbles into a lonely bar, spilling out his pathetic story to an elderly bartender. The sympathetic bartender offers the drifter the chance to avenge the stranger who left her pregnant and abandoned, on the condition that he join the "time travelers corps." <BR/><BR/>The bartender drops off the drifter in 1963. The drifter is strangely attracted to a young orphan woman, who subsequently becomes pregnant.<BR/><BR/>The bartender then goes forward 9 months, kidnaps the baby girl from the hospital, and drops off the baby in an orphanage back in 1945. Then the bartender drops off the thoroughly confused drifter in 1985, to enlist in the time travelers corps. The drifter eventually gets his life together, becomes a respected and elderly member of the time travelers corps, and then disguises himself as a bartender and has his most difficult mission: a date with destiny, meeting a certain drifter in 1970.<BR/><BR/>The question is: Who is the mother, father, grandfather, grand mother, son, daughter, granddaughter, and grandson? The girl, the drifter, and the bartender, of course, are all the same person. These paradoxes can made your head spin, especially if you try to untangle Jane's twisted parentage. If we drawJane's family tree, we find that all the branches are curled inward back on themselves, as in a circle. <BR/><BR/>We come to the astonishing conclusion that she is her own mother and father! She is an entire family tree unto herself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26791026.post-1148689872449255142006-05-26T20:31:00.000-04:002006-05-26T20:31:00.000-04:00Cheryl and December,I don't know nuthin bout birth...Cheryl and December,<BR/><BR/>I don't know nuthin bout birthin no babies!

Except that in mine, the detectives don't know they are identical twins, because they were stolen 25 years ago by the same psycho OBG, and sold seperately! In mine, he's stealing them for his black market organ farm (he steals them as babies so he can raise them on an organic diet and charge a premium price for the organs). The twins were sold because they were of a bloodtype so rare he knew he wouldn't find a market for them. At the end of the book, there is a hint that perhaps their psychic powers and rare blood type are related to a spate of alien abductions that occured around nine months before their mother was kidnapped.<BR/>But aside from that, the plots are amazingly similar.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26791026.post-1148510978991528632006-05-24T18:49:00.000-04:002006-05-24T18:49:00.000-04:00LOVE Womb Raider!!!LOVE Womb Raider!!!Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17083327647412477394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26791026.post-1148506817760940982006-05-24T17:40:00.000-04:002006-05-24T17:40:00.000-04:00I think that many babies have blood work done pren...I think that many babies have blood work done prenatally these days.
