Beautiful Marge Rosetta is always unlucky in love until she meets Ben Webster, her boss at Circle Floor Laboratories, a research facility in New York. Fascinated by Webster's cloning experiments, Marge grows closer to the brilliant scientist as she learns more about the startling and secret discoveries being made in Webster's laboratory. But Marge's whole world comes crashing down around her when she learns her beloved parents have been tragically killed in a car accident. Now, Marge can't help but wonder if Webster's research may somehow be the answer to her inconsolable grief.

In The Chosen Ones, we meet the Rosettas, a tightly knit family from the small New York suburb of Mount Vernon. After her parents' untimely and tragic death, daughter Marge is determined to use the cloning techniques developed at Circle Floor to bring Anna and Frank Rosetta back to life. The shocking, clandestine procedure starts a chain reaction of events leading to a devastating trial that could change the face of science forever.

Now, the new Rosetta family must struggle to survive the aftereffects of Marge's choice as science and nature collide in this thrilling, unexpected new science-fiction love story.
