Review Summaries
"The main character, Lunzie, is forced to submit to cryo-sleep after a major disaster at a mining facility in deep space. She wakes up 70 or so years later to find that everything she had known has changed, and her beloved daughter (only a child when she left) is possibly dead. She begins a search to find her."
Dave Lord, Resident Anne McCaffery Scholar
