A sci-fi drama of a high school aged girl who belongs in a different
time, a boy possessed by emptiness as deep as space, an alien artifact,
mysterious murder, and a love that crosses light years.
To Amy, everyone has a flavor. Her mom is the flavor of mint--sharp and
bright. Her dad is like hot chocolate--sweet and full of gentle warmth.
Amy lives on a mining colony in out in deep space, but when her dad
loses his job the entire family is forced to move back to Earth. Amy
says goodbye to her best friend Jemmah and climbs into a cryotube where
she will spend the next 30 years frozen in a state of suspended
animation, hurtling in a rocket toward her new home. Her life will never
be the same, but all she can think about is how when she gets to Earth,
Jemmah will have grown up without her.
When Amy arrives on Earth, she feels like an alien in a strange land.
The sky is beautiful but gravity is heavy and the people are weird.
Stranger still is the boy she meets at her new school--a boy who has no
flavor.
