The Fabric of Honor: Selandu tales Book 1
When Cara MacLennan crosses the border to live in a community of aliens, her life turns upside down. Independent but never left alone, guarded by Rodani, an alien man trained to kill as well as protect, she learns that not everyone wants her there; not everyone wants her alive.
How do you know, in another culture, if you're being told the truth? How do you know, in an emotionally-reserved culture, if you're liked or disliked? Polished or uncouth? Laughed with, or laughed at? And how do you handle your ignorance? The unknown, the pressure to conform, the daily apologies, the entreaties to be taught? Ego and pride won't play here. They can't. Not if you want to fit in, not if you want to succeed. And even when you try, some will never accept you.
When a friendship is forged, when trust blooms, when a deeper bond begins to form, what boundaries do you dare cross? Where is the right? The wrong? Where is the harm in a forbidden love?
What does Cara have to do to stay safe? What of herself does she lose? What does she gain with Rodani? Find out where she fails--and where she finally succeeds--in The Fabric of Honor.

About the author
J.A. Komorita
1 book1 followerJ.A. Komorita grew up in a house filled with books, where stories were as common as conversations. She fell in love with science fiction early on, but it wasn’t until much later that her romantic heart insisted on weaving itself into the genre she loved. Life—with all its unexpected twists—slowed her writing path, but it never stopped it. At 69, after thirty years of dreaming and drafting, she self-published her first trilogy with the help of her editor and a whole lot of determination. A fourth-generation crafter and the first in her family to become a published author, J.A.’s home is filled with cats, quilts, handmade jewelry, and more than a thousand books.

Restored my love of reading 📚
Coming from a family of readers and quilters this book was a great mix of the two, and I loved the author's attention to detail. In Selandu, and alien world, UFOs don't mean what you think they'd might 😏 unless you're a crafter!
Can't wait for the next book!
