She had to travel beyond the planet to discover her true self. Will she find the courage to walk through the doorway to a new future?

But her enthusiasm suffers when her first discovery is unexpected heartbreak.

Throwing herself into work on a problematic warp drive prototype, Calli blossoms in the utopian female community that shows her love and acceptance for the first time in her life.
