A HiLo book for readers who like an exciting story, but want an easier read. The reading level is grade two, but the story is aimed at children aged 9+. Earth died. Hope survived. Abbey and her family crew the spaceship Hope. They're carrying the last life from Earth to a new, safe planet. Halfway through the trip, Hope is damaged. They're out of fuel and their cargo is dying. Abbey's family is stranded, and there's no one to help them.
Having tried and failed to write 'normally', Jessica embraced failure and went on writing SF/F. Her work has been published or is forthcoming in Beneath Ceaseless Skies, Luna Station Quarterly, New Realm Magazine, Thunder on the Battlefield: Sword (Seventh Star Press) and on CBC's The Vinyl Cafe. Jessica is the author of three novels, none of which take place in the 'real' world. She has no idea why her mind works like this.
