The Repercussions of Changing Skins

Cherry Hill, NJ (Vocus) August 18, 2010

When Dr. Bob Birchwood and his wife Myrna agree to foster four-and-a-half-year-old Victor, they had no idea how much their lives would change. And it all began with the prospect of Changing Skins, a provocative novel by Len Dabundo.

Dr. Bob Birchwood, a microbiology professor, runs a lab and animal farm. While working on a “tanning pill” and attempting to undo the effects of a bad case of Vitiligo on his young African-American foster son, he discovers a way to easily change people’s skin color. Involved in his discovery are a pair of marijuana addicted gorillas, the two locals who are growing the herb, and two young female biologists. Disastrous events ensue as the professor’s startling breakthrough sets loose a chain of events involving a Philadelphia drug lord and enraged animal rights activists. The ensuing pandemonium produces some life-changing results.

Set in the Jersey Pinelands, Changing Skins explores the repercussions that come from altering the very fabric of nature and life. A moral tale which provokes thought, it also sparks debates on controversial scientific developments like Cloning and Stem Cell Research.
