"A rich backstory... a highly satisfying ending... All the stars for
Chen's warmhearted space-travel story." -**Kirkus, starred review
Every family has issues. Most can't blame them on
extraterrestrials.
Evie Shao and her sister, Kass, aren't on speaking terms. Fifteen years
ago on a family camping trip, their father and brother vanished. Their
dad turned up days later, dehydrated and confused--and convinced he'd
been abducted by aliens. Their brother, Jakob, remained missing. The
women dealt with it very differently. Kass, suspecting her
college-dropout twin simply ran off, became the rock of the family. Evie
traded academics to pursue alien conspiracy theories, always looking for
Jakob.
When Evie's UFO network uncovers a new event, she goes to investigate.
And discovers Jakob is back. He's different--older, stranger, and
talking of an intergalactic war--but the tensions between the siblings
haven't changed at all. If the family is going to come together to help
Jakob, then Kass and Evie are going to have to fix their issues, and
fast. Because the FBI is after Jakob, and if their brother is telling
the truth, possibly an entire space armada, too.
The perfect combination of action, imagination and heart, Light Years
from Home is a touching drama about a challenge as difficult as saving
the galaxy: making peace with your family...and yourself.
"With heart and insight...Chen **crosses the stakes and imagination
of a space opera with the emotional depth and intricacy of a family
drama." --**Erika Swyler, bestselling author of Light from Other Stars
