What if you needed a license to have a baby? In a future marked by high-tech surveillance, in which unlicensed pregnancy is a felony, Sophie must make a painful decision. She can submit to the state's harsh demands, or face imprisonment and loss of her child to the education/labor camps. Or she can go on the run, relying on the conductors of the revived Underground Railway. Confronted with deception, treachery and violence, she must learn to trust her instincts. Not sure who she can rely on, Sophie needs to make the right choices and make them fast. If she hesitates she risks the loss of everything she values most.
