The Rule of One is a novel by twins Leslie and Ashley Saunders. Climate change storms, related disasters, flooding, destructive wildfires has destroyed the United States. Add over population to the mix and their is not enough food and other resources to go around. Thus, the rule of one; something done in China ~ parents are only allowed to have one child.
In the novel, a mother dies during childbirth which produced twins. The father hid the crime by an elaborate scheme, having the twins take turns playing Ava. Ava is the one with the microchip in her wrist; thus maintaining the deception is difficult.
There is a mean governor who will not give disaster relief to "the island of Houston." There are several mentions of homelessness in the novel as would be expected. It would required a spoiler alert to tell how a homeless man helped Ava in a time of need.
