Future Imperfect

We find Jo at 27 skipping through a charmed life in 20th Century Chelsea. She has a fine home, a good job, an opulent lifestyle and a loving husband. But fate intercepts and hurls her onto a collision course with Michael; a strange looking teenager who she stumbles upon in the woods near her family home. He appears to be in some kind of trouble and, captivated by his unusual looks and the effect he has on her, she is compelled to help him. Impulsive and headstrong, teenage Michael kidnaps and drags her kicking and screaming 500 years into the future and his extraordinary underground city of blonde-haired, blue-eyed citizens, mentally superior to her in every way.
The Earth’s atmosphere has become uninhabitable and isolated communities of survivors dwell beneath the Earth’s surface. The community Jo has been forced to join is peace loving and gentle and strives to find a suitable new planet to populate. They lead a simplistic spiritual life style and have developed telepathic abilities. Yet dark secrets hide beneath the fabric of this idyllic world.
How will Jo cope? Will she ever be able to go home?
As she desperately struggles to accept the reality of what’s happened to her she forges strong relationships with some of her new associates. Julia, the beautiful and compassionate nurse who takes care of her becomes her closest friend, and David, a Siddha, and important leader of the community becomes her lover. Meanwhile Michael is sent away, in shame and disgrace for his actions.
Terrifying events unfold in the shape of a malicious cannibalistic rival society and Jo must dig deep to find an inner strength she would never have imagined in her previous life. She becomes a warrior fighting for her life and rallying others into hostile retaliation.
But more importantly she discovers a love more powerful than she would have ever thought possible; a love that defies time, cultural diversity and age.
