She's used to the names; she only wishes there was more truth to them. If she were truly a monster, as they accuse, she'd be powerful enough to tear down the walls around her until nothing remained of her world, save for stories told around the cook fire. Aster lives in the low-deck slums of the HSS Matilda, a space vessel organized much like the antebellum South. For generations, the Matilda has ferried the last of humanity to a mythical Promised Land. On its way, the ship's leaders have imposed harsh moral restrictions and deep indignities on dark-skinned sharecroppers like Aster, who they consider to be less than human. Embroiled in a grudge with a brutal overseer and sewing the seeds of civil war, Aster learns there may be a way off the ship if she's willing to fight for it. 650 0 $a Slavery $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Racism $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Equality $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Interplanetary voyages $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Government, Resistance to $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Science fiction. $2 lcgft. 655 7 $a Dystopian fiction. $2 lcgft. 700 1 $a Boothe, Cherise, $e narrator. 941 $a 1 945 $a cdab 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20180502010544.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2AC9DA084DCE11E89F5D1D5C97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
