This isnāt a book with lots of violence, war or death in it. Thereās enough of that in real life, and if youāre into that kind of thing, then thereās plenty of other books out there for you.
This is a story about the stuff that we donāt have enough of in real life. Love, tolerance, bravery and leadership. And its a story about humanityās first attempt to live in space, and how two young women save us all from our own stupidity.
Oh, it also features zero gravity, inter-racial, lesbian lovemaking.
(Because there isnāt enough of that in real life either)
