Jenny, a migrant from USA to Australia, is no more than a middle-class citizen of Queensland living as a programmer. Yet in secret, she is a member of a notorious hacking group with power to move—teleportation. It, however, changes on the night she bumps into a man who appears to be a professional wet worker and becomes a witness of a crime scene. The very night, her wealthy aunt is killed in a car accident, leaving Jenny as an heir of her unknown wealth. However, her aunt has also left a series of tests to inherit the wealth for unknown reasons. Then out of blue, her not-so-close cousin flew from America and contacts her while the man she bumped into on the other night also steps into her life again. Learning there is a hidden world of Receivers, possessors of special powers like herself, and Illumination, the most ancient organization of Receivers, Jenny realizes this is much more than just inheriting her inheritance.
Will I Live Tomorrow?

Book Description
When Sonia Nassery Cole set out to film The Black Tulip in her homeland of Afghanistan, she knew the odds were against her; she was told time and time again that filming inside a war zone would be impossible. What she didn't anticipate was how intent the Taliban and its sympathizers were on halting the film's production—the crew encountered extortion, government corruption, kidnapping attempts, and death threats, even with around-the-clock security. Her cinematographer fled after two days, and many others followed. After 9/11, Cole wrote The Black Tulip, based on a true story of a real Afghan family. The plot was simple: After 2001, when the Taliban was routed, an Afghan family opened The Poet's Corner—a restaurant with an open microphone for all to read poetry, perform music, and tell their stories. But the Taliban didn't approve, and the family's new-found hope proved fleeting as it struggled to maintain the restaurant and its vibrant way of life. Selected as Afghanistan's official submission for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 2010 Academy Awards, The Black Tulip is a modern portrait of Afghanistan that captures the plight and resilience of its people. Without financial support from a studio or anyone else, Cole self-financed the film by mortgaging her home and selling her belongings. Then, with everything on the line, she left for Kabul to make the impossible possible and set out to gather the right people who would risk their lives and willingly be part of the production. In Will I Live Tomorrow?, Cole gives an intimate look into what went on behind the scenes of making a controversial film in the heart of a war-ravaged country—the looming terror the Taliban creates among Afghans everywhere and the challenges and fear the cast and crew faced every day. Will I Live Tomorrow? is a memoir about one woman's struggle to make a difference in a violent world.
