Book description
16 years ago, Waverly and Kieran were the first children born in space.
Now a perfect couple, they are the pride and joy of the whole spaceship.
They represent the future.
The ship is their entire world.
They have never seen a stranger before.
Old Earth is crumbling, and the crew is hoping to reach (and colonise)
New Earth within fifty years. Along with their allies on the second
spaceship - who set off a year before them and whom they have never met.
One day, Kieran proposes to Waverly. That same morning, the 'allies'
attack - and Kieran and Waverly are separated in the cruellest way
possible. Will they ever see each other again? Amy Kathleen Ryan grew
