Raising Stony Mayhall by Daryl Gregory

From award-winning author Daryl Gregory, whom Library Journal called a] bright new voice of the 21st century, comes a new breed of zombie novel a surprisingly funny, vividly frightening, and ultimately deeply moving story of self-discovery and family love.

In 1968, after the first zombie outbreak, Wanda Mayhall and her three young daughters discover the body of a teenage mother during a snowstorm. Wrapped in the woman's arms is a baby stone-cold, not breathing, and without a pulse. But then his eyes open and look up at Wanda, and he begins to move. The family hides the child whom they name Stony rather than turn him over to authorities who would destroy him.

Against all scientific reason, the undead boy begins to grow. For years, his adoptive mother and sisters manage to keep his existence a secret until one terrifying night when Stony is forced to run, and he learns that he is not the only living dead boy left in the world.
