On the over-crowded Earth, many see opportunity in Kipos’s need. After medical, intelligence, and physiological testing, Abby and her younger siblings, Jin and Orchid, are offered transportation. Along with 750,000 other strong immigrants, they leave the safety of their family with the expectation of good jobs and the opportunity for higher education.
While the Earthlings travel to the new planet in stasis, the Kiposi, terrified the savages will taint their paradise, pass a series of indenture and adoption laws in order to assimilate them.
When Abby wakes up on Kipos, Jin cannot be found. Orchid is ripped from her arms as Abby is sold to a dull-eyed man with a sterilized wife. Indentured to breed, she is drugged and systematically coerced. To survive, Abby learns the differences in culture and language using the only thing that is truly hers on this new world: her analytical mind. In order to escape her captors, she joins a planetary survey team where she will discover yet another way of life.

Elizabeth! your presentation at the Kent Library today was outstanding! I just happened in there today, and was so delighted by how you generously shared your resources, and more— by the way you spoke with and to the (mostly young) people in the audience— so respectful, and fun, sharing your experiences and enjoying theirs. A lovely serendipity for me! What a treasure you are! I’m a lettering artist myself. Many years ago a Seattle cartoonist taught me to letter the ‘bubbles’ in his panels in a style akin to Wizard of Id. I still enjoy that those crisp clear letter forms.. Hope our paths cross again. Good luck always! Annie
