The hottest name in network news is Daniel Halstrom. He is a sensation, a rising star. He is also a slave, owned wholly and completely by NewWorld Media.
But before he was a star, he was a frightened child from a bad place with a promising, if limited, future ahead of him. In "The New Kid", young Daniel begins his schooling. Then, for a slave, the simple pleasure of a "Bathroom Break" is sometimes the only pleasure to be had. Later, Daniel doesn't know it, but "A Chance Encounter" might be the most important of his life. Next, in "Camera Obscura", one of Daniel's colleagues reflects on the fact that as much as the camera may show, it can hide even more. Finally, when you're a slave, "Independence Day" is just another day.

Reviews
"A short but exquisitely written anthology . . . Each story is a masterful slice of life." --Reviews by Jessewave
"[A] feast for the senses." --Queer Magazine Online
"Rachel Haimowitz has such a talent for world-building in a way that's so subtle and tangible you have to remind yourself that the setting isn't real." --The Romance Reviews
"The five stories were delightful, all of them bittersweet with an aftertaste of hope. Although each was only a few pages, the characters leaped off the page and many straight into the heart." --Between the Covers
