When Maria Kefalas’s daughter Calliope was diagnosed with a degenerative\, incurable genetic disease\, the last thing Maria expected to discover in herself was a superpower. This superpower of grief manifested in the realization that in order for Maria and her family to save themselves\, they would need to find a way to save others.
