Distant Cousin #5
Recirculation
Is it possible to ever really know another person? After all, parents who know their offspring better than anyone are often surprised by what their children do and who they become. If a parent should have her own secrets--such as being from another planet, perhaps--and have made a new life in an unfamiliar world, wouldn't we expect her to be occasionally surprised, maybe even astonished, by her own children?
Ana Darcy Méndez certainly has her own problems and secrets--but then, so do her teenage twins. When the twins' first independent steps toward adulthood entangle each one in danger, their mother disappears on the other side of the world. Will luck, family ties, and love be enough to allow Ana's increasingly complicated family to survive intact?

Ana Darcy (née Anneyn Darshiell) was such a famously rebellious teenager that she was willing, if a bit daunted, to leave her own planet forever on her people's greatest-ever voyage of discovery, to planet Earth. The story of what happened to her after that is told in Distant Cousin, volume 1.
Now, sixteen years after she has made a home on her new planet--her ancestral planet--it's her turn: she has her own teenagers to contend with. Like their mother before them, and teenagers everywhere, they are growing fast and becoming adventurous, though perhaps not quite as in control of themselves as their parents might hope. When each gets in trouble, how will Ana and Matt be able to care for them if Ana herself has disappeared halfway around the globe?

Another excellent book by Al Past. I've really enjoyed the entire Distant Cousin Series. This fifth book continues with Ana's saga. The contains family values, yet injects adventure to keep you up reading to the wee hours.
