Publisher's Synopsis
Amber Brenin is as new to the world as a twelve-year-old can be. Life in a care center for autistic children such as herself allows her very little interaction with other people, including her geologist father Robert. When an upcoming expedition threatens to separate them for months, Robert smuggles his daughter along on the trip, only to lose her when he finds the thing that he's looking for. Now Amber is stranded on Rokshena, a world far away from Earth where no one knows how to communicate with her or understands her condition. As she begins to cope with her strange surroundings and stranger allies, a chain of mysterious disasters strikes that could doom all life on Rokshena. Questions mount as Amber attempts to uncover the cause of these events while also discovering herself-and most importantly, finding her place in her new world."
