Melinda has a plan for her life, and a trip to Mars isn’t part of it. When she receives a spaceliner ticket as a graduation gift from her dad, she is dismayed, but reluctantly agrees to go with him. Her outlook begins to change when she meets Alex Preston, a second-generation Martian colonist who is going home after college on Earth–she finds herself more and more drawn to him and, while on Mars, to his family. Torn between what she has always wanted and upsetting new feelings, she wonders if she can ever again be content. It takes tragedy and a frightening experience to make her aware of what really matters to her. $2.99 on Kindle.
