“The impetus for this story was spawned from my interest in genealogy,” Liam says, a descendant of thirteen Mayflower passengers . “I have been fascinated with the application of DNA analysis to field of genealogy, particularly the ambitious Genographic Project sponsored by The National Geographic Society.

“A friend asked me if I would draft an explanation of the science of DNA from a biblical perspective. She was intrigued by my idea that the story of the Flood might be written in our DNA and wanted to share it with her home-schooled grandchildren. As I began to write, the story came to life.
