About This Book

A party of women travels to a newly settled planet to marry arriving colonists, but one woman finds herself unpaired when an intended husband does not come. She chooses to remain on the lichen farms rather than return, walking out to a distant dome and confronting the practical, guarded man who had asked not to be assigned a wife. The narrative follows her steadiness, work ethic, and refusal to be defined by looks as she negotiates awkward social expectations, the necessities of pioneer life, and the slow, pragmatic formation of new community ties in a harsh environment.
