It has 58 reviews on Amazon with an average of 4 stars. Here is a book jacket synopsis:<br /><br />At fifteen, Eileen Robinson lives in an ideal, middle class African-American family in Houston, Texas. When her father is murdered her sheltered life spirals downward into gloom. Her once stay-at-home mother is forced to go to work cleaning offices at night. Eileen is relegated to babysitting her two younger sisters. One night she sneaks out on them. Trying to cook something, they die in a fire. Tormented and wanting to kill herself, Eileen runs away from home. Befriended by a drug dealer, she moves in with him. At twenty-one she is a single mother of two, falsely convicted of killing a state senator’s son. <br /><br />At thirty-two Eileen is executed. However, the doctor that performs the execution puts Eileen into a coma with a controlled dosage of medication and corrupts the EKG monitor to make it look like she is dead and she is rushed to an island prison where she is used as a guinea pig in a nanomedicine drug experiment.<br /><br />How Eileen escapes from the island prison, evades a private security force chasing her, finds the evidence that will prove she is innocent and reunites with her children make The Nano Experiment an emotionally charged, page turning thriller.<br /><br />Richard Brawer<br />www.silklegacy.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7768080963330267344.post-85462332597124323712014-03-01T13:31:35.934-05:002014-03-01T13:31:35.934-05:00Okay, I'm ready to "take that breather.&q...Okay, I'm ready to "take that breather."
