Sapient
Abandoned by her husband after the birth of their child, Jane Dixon's world is defined by her autistic son and the research she does to find a cure for his condition. She knows her work on animal intelligence may hold the key. She also knows that the research will take decades to complete. None of it will ultimately benefit her son. All that changes when a lab rat named Einstein demonstrates that he can read and write. Just as her research yields results, the U.S. government discovers her program. The army wants to harness her research for its military potential. The CDC wants to shut her down completely. The implications of animal intelligence are too dangerous, particularly when the previously inert virus proves to be highly contagious. She steals the virus to cure her son, but the government discovers the theft. She must now escape to Canada before the authorities can replace her son's mental prison with a physical one.
