Leaving Earth (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781701408272)

Leaving Earth

Kate O'Shaunessy Lightfeather has spent her life feeling out of place
In a future Earth governed by conformity, creativity is tolerated only within carefully controlled boundaries.
As a state-supported artist, Kate enjoys more freedom than most-but not enough to silence her longing for something beyond the limits of her isolated world.
Then an impossible being appears on her lawn.
Wounded, hunted and far from home, Eli is a stranded alien on Earth.
Helping him should be impossible. Instead Kate finds herself swept into a larger universe filled with stein ships, ancient mysteries and civilizations she never dreamed existed.
But leaving Earth may be the easy part,
As powerful forces begin to take notice of an unusual, soft-skinned human and her growing connection to an enigmatic intelligence known only as the Entity-I, Kate must confront a question that reaches far beyond the stars:
What does it truly mean to be Human?
And where does one find Home?

Kate O'Shaunessy Lightfeather never intended to leave Earth.
And rescuing a stranded alien named Eli should have been a simple act of compassion.
Instead, it propels her into a vast interstellar civilization where Earth-humans are virtually unknown and survival depends on mastering abilities she never knew she possessed.
Far from home and accompanied by Honey, a sentient onboard intelligence with secrets of her own, Kate finds herself caught between powerful forces struggling to define the future of multiple worlds,
As alliances fracture and a deadly alien threat emerges, Kate must decide who she is becoming--and what she is willing to sacrifice to belong.
Because the farther she travels from Earth, the harder it becomes to answer a question she once took for granted:
What does it truly mean to be Human? And where does one find home?
