"Q" imagines a near-future society obsessed with genetic perfection and intelligence. In this world, citizens are ranked and segregated based on their Q scores, which measure genetic potential and cognitive abilities. Elena Fairchild, a teacher at a prestigious school and mother of two daughters, faces a moral crisis when her youngest daughter fails her monthly Q test and is sent to a state boarding school for lower-ranking children. As Elena delves into the dark truths behind the Q system, she must make difficult choices to protect her family and challenge the oppressive regime. Reviews The Washington Post: "Dalcher's 'Q' is a chilling exploration of a society obsessed with genetic perfection. The novel's tension and moral dilemmas will keep readers on the edge of their seats." BookPage: "A thought-provoking and unsettling story that raises important questions about eugenics, education, and individuality. Dalcher's writing is both compelling and timely." Kirkus Reviews: "Dalcher delivers a powerful critique of societal standards and the pursuit of perfection. 'Q' is a gripping, dystopian tale that feels all too plausible."
