Now we have equality. Now we’ve outgrown our biology. Why risk natural birth when FullLife’s baby pouch offers freedom, choice, and safety guaranteed? Welcome to FullLife – a world where women are liberated and all can share the joy of childbearing. Holly’s whole family has been shaped by the benefits, but Eva doesn’t believe society has changed for the better and Piotr has uncovered a secret behind FullLife’s glossy facade. What separates them may just bring them together, as they search for the truth about FullLife and each face a truth of their own.
