What if you discover that you aren't human? That your parents aren't your parents? That you're expected to save the world? Vala, who talks to animals, and Eric, who reads individuals' thoughts, believe they're just oddball humans. What else is there to be? Their beliefs and lives shift forever when a transparent figure haunts their lives. When they finally make contact with the mysterious visitor, they learn they must give up everything and try to save not one but two Earths. Challenges to Alpha Earth, 2029, include environmental devastation and political demagogues. A greater threat looms over unaware residents: collision with another Earth threatens annihilation. Beta Earth residents have begun to realize the Membrane separating the two Earths is failing. Not only has Beta Earth lost its status as a sanctuary created by gentem-genetically divergent from homo sapiens-the threat of collision now endangers both Earths. The gentem have to find a solution to save at least one of the planets and at least one of the species. Which Earth should they choose? Which species? The questions force them to try to connect with the two children they abandoned on Alpha Earth 29 years earlier. The existence of both planets depends on what the children have to say.
Autorenporträt
Blue has lived in climates ranging from the dramatic chill within the shadow of Mt. Sopris, Colorado to the sunny warmth of the Dominican Republic in the Caribbean. She currently lives in the woods of Whidbey Island in the mossy and dark shadows of the northwest. In every environment, she's found ways to interact with different species, playing host to deer, crows, wolves, and other wildlife as well as her own rescue/foster dogs, parrots, goats, ducks, and more. She's always been grateful she had the opportunity to take the Basic Wildlife Rehabilitation skills seminar and receive extensive training through both Sound Water Stewards of Island County (formerly Beach Watchers) and Marine Mammal Stranding Network. She also attended the Forest Stewardship Program, Washington State Department of Natural Resources through Washington State University. She is a proud member of ILCW (International League of Conservation Writers). Blue began writing as a journalist in the 1970s and went on to publish and edit essays, fiction, and poetry in various magazines and books. She taught writing and literature in various locations, the most recent at Skagit Valley College, before retiring in 2016 and celebrating with a trip to the Galápagos Islands. More about her writing and books appears on the Sunbreak Press Web page, where you can also read her Conservation blog.
