Genesis
It came from a time
and space incomprehensible to the human mind.
The object hadn’t come from any specific place, and it wasn’t going
anyplace in particular. It was about a
yard long and looked like an oblong capsule.
Light from the stars reflected from its crinkled surface as it raced
along at a speed rivaling light, itself.
In its timeless odyssey among the stars, the entity came like a pinball;
pulled, pushed and slung about by the gravitational influences of solar masses
and other celestial bodies. It would
have continued on its way through the galaxy except that something got in its
way: The Big Blue Marble.
It
came in on a shallow trajectory and almost skipped back into space. But there was just enough drag in the upper
atmosphere to draw it down and pull it in.
It didn’t blaze or glow like a meteor because its interior was gaseous
and slowed too quickly for heat to build on its surface. Its outer covering withstood the ravages of
the entry until it reached atmosphere, then the outer shell began to slough off
in the nighttime sky.
The
entity entered oxygenated atmosphere over Huron, Ohio, and continued toward
Cleveland. It didn’t break apart in its
decent: rather, it shed its layers until it was reduced to a small waft of warm
air that was quickly dissipated by the winds aloft. The dusty material scattered along a path
thirty miles wide and almost sixty miles long.
It landed on vegetation, animals and people. But nothing was damaged, and no one got sick.
Because
of the gaseous nature of the entity, it came undetected by Earth’s elaborate
sensing systems. And no one took notice
of the slight dusting on their cars and property the next morning as they got
ready for another day’s travails. They
would not know for years to come that something beyond their understanding had
been introduced into their society.

The Seeding Chronicles begins when an object speeds in from deep space and dissipates in Earth’s upper atmosphere. Undetected by the most sophisticated tracking systems because of its gaseous nature, the entity spreads a wide swath of dust-like matter between Huron and Cleveland, Ohio without anyone noticing. Although there are no adverse effects on plants, animals or humans, it introduces into society something beyond their understanding.
In June of 1957, ten children are born who have extraordinary abilities. This is a chronicle of six families who are compelled to raise these children, whether in a loving or adversarial manner.
Destiny

(The third book of the "Seeding" trilogy)
After an entity from space dissipates in Earth's upper atmosphere, ten telepathic children are born to six families that either accept their extraordinary abilities or hate and fear them.
When identical twins, Amy and Mandy, are born, their mother, Jan Cornell, discovers their secret and is determined to force them to become normal. The girls become the troublemakers of the group and are determined to kill Molly, the leader of the Children.
When Genny Merriweather learns that her triplets, Timmy, Tommy and Shirley, are telepaths, she accepts her "freaks" and begins to teach them to keep their secret.
Darly Blackburne finds out that her son, Sam, is a telekinetic after the four-year-old boy forces his father to kill himself as he was about to shoot her. When she fully realizes his ability to move things with his mind, she coaches him how to "jimmy" slot machines and takes him to Las Vegas to steal a fortune from the mob's casinos.
Baby Olivia Elizebeth "Doe" was abandoned on an old woman's porch and became a ward of the state. Even though the child was blind, Erlene Echendorf, a girl who volunteered at the hospital, is determined to adopt Olly. It was only after the old woman, Adel Turvey, promised to pay for the child's upkeep, that the court granted the adoption. Everything seemed normal until Erlie discovered that Olly could see through her eyes. Although Erlie had mixed emotions about sharing her eyesight with her child, she soon accepted the situation, and it became a part of their lives.
As Jeffery Turnbull is born, he kills his twin brother in the womb. His mother, Harriet, doesn't learn of his ability to absorb a person's energy, thereby killing them, or that he is a telepath, until the boy is summoned by, Molly, the leader of the group.
Toby Creston is concerned when her twins, Harold and Molly, seem to cater to each other, which she thought was unusual for such young children. Her suspicions are confirmed, later, when the children announce that they are telepathic, and that Molly, a Down's syndrome child, is the "boss" of nine other telepathic children. Ace, her father, is stunned, at first, but eventually accepts Molly as another step in evolution.
