Decades of travel through the stars are condensed into mere months for her, though the years continue to march steadily onward for everyone she has ever known. Her friends and lovers have aged past her, and all she has left is work. Alone and adrift, she lives for only the next paycheck, until the day she meets a mysterious boy, fallen from the sky. A boy, broken by his past. The scarred child does not speak, his only form of communication the beautiful and haunting music he plays from an old wooden flute. Captured by his songs, and their strange, immediate connection, Nia decides to take the boy in. And over years of starlit travel, these two outsiders discover in one another the things they lacked. For him, a home, a place of love and safety. For her, an anchor to the world outside herself. For the both of them, a family. But Nia is not the only one who wants the boy. The past hungers for him, and when it catches up, it threatens to tear this makeshift family apart"-- 650 $a Interstellar Travel $x Fiction 650 $a Time dilatation 650 $a Families 650 $a Fear 650 $a Loneliness 650 $a Selective mutism 650 $a Single women 650 $a Time travel 650 $a Fiction 650 $a Science fiction 650 $a Time-travel fiction 941 $a 2 952 $l SCPC074 $d 20210422013919.0 952 $l EZPE755 $d 20210123010114.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A15DCFDA5D4811EBB89DBB6E49ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
