Book Description:
In the bowels of the giant walking city of Manhatsten, Mimi survives, homeless, and unique as the only telepath in what's left of humanity. Mimi has isolated herself for centuries, watching the few friends and lovers she let close die, as she endures.
Then, after decades alone with her gift, something interrupts her telepathy. She realizes she might not be alone after all. Mimi soon discovers a secret that has remained hidden since the walking cities took their first steps a thousand years ago. A secret that could cost her life, or worse.
Will she survive, or will the city ultimately recycle her?
