Until the End By: Katie Barker In the near future, two sisters, Alaina and Hayley Mitchell, are forced to flee their home during a conflict with a neighboring community, and everything they thought they knew in their lives changes. Follow their journey as they face hardships, separate, and grow into young adults, taking very different paths in life, only to reunite in conflict-at odds over politics and their love for a very special boy in their lives. One sister had a manipulatable gene that made her extremely desirable to the powers that be. Until the End is about hope, and during the times we live in, the best we can do is have hope. The author hopes readers take away an awareness of the effects of love, both positive and negative, and that there is hope as long as you look for it in the right places.
