Raif finds himself in competition with his own progenitor for control over his Heir, Brennan, and their collective future. The Seven Chiefs offer her to him, like a bribe, but at what price? A Proctor shouldn't think at all, and certainly not about his Councillor that way. He has no idea why he's never seen her like this before but now he can’t think about anything else but having her as his own. But she’s not a little girl anymore and he can’t bring himself to let her go now. A few months, maybe a year, and he could send the little Phoenician girl back to her people, back where she belongs. Friday's Science Fiction often has a Romantic SF flavor (and a lot of sex) but Friday's not really writing SF Romances. Speculative, 'what-if' stories that have a 'here and now' flavor but are set neither here nor in the now. Raif had never intended for things to go this far. Baldwin-or 'Friday'-is a pen name for writing science fiction. After thirteen years of living among these aliens, Shayla had plans of her own and they don’t include humans or serving on their World Council. Well, the Seven Chiefs could keep their Plan. They'd entrusted her safety to a human Proctor named Raif. Or not until the Seven Chiefs had ordered her to do it. She's Phoenician and Phoenicians were never meant to live among the humans. Can a Proctor named Raif and a Phoenician named Shayla save the human genome from sabotage without having to surrender themselves in the process? In the far future on an alien world, humanity suffers under a color-coded caste system with corrupt politicians who use genetic heritage and memory Adjustments to control the masses.

The poem did not appear in the book, but in the 8-part mini-series it is recited in a scene at the very end of the last episode, thus it generated some online discussion and comment at various websites, along with questions about who actually wrote it. Though probably not generally thought of as a poet, he did write this touching little gem of a poem for the 2016 television adaptation of his book 11/22/63, about a time-traveler that goes back in time to prevent the President Kennedy assassination on November 22, 1963. His books have sold well over 300 million copies.
