Cross Wired question

Cross Wired is a revised/rewritten version of our Jan Coffey Book, the Project.

Everyone who sends their child or their spouse off to school feels, at one time or another, the fear of what might await their loved one there. As parents and teachers and residents of Connecticut, we understand that all too well. An incident of violence, so often involving teenagers, can cause heartbreak. It can destroy families and communities alike.
Generations of psychologists and educators have tried to search out the reasons why violence in a school occurs. Clearly, there are no easy answers.
In our simpler, fictional world, we’re happy to pin it on a technological advance gone awry. We’re delighted to lay the charge against a few scientists who have lost their way, and against a few greedy businessmen. We write fiction, after all.
We only wish real life could be so simple.
