In a near-future America, parents can list their unborn children on a financial market - selling shares of their future earnings in exchange for the capital to give them a better life. Solomon Banks was listed at forty-two dollars. Leah Hebert was listed at eleven. Between them they have investors, compliance journals, quarterly reports, and years of documented childhoods they did not consent to. They find each other in college, fall in love, and make a promise: their children will never be listed. They know exactly what it costs. They've lived it.
