Pattie and her family are among the last refugees to flee a dying Earth in an old spaceship. And when the group finally lands on the distant planet which is to be their new home, it seems that the four-year journey has been a success.

With supplies dwindling, Pattie and her sister decide to take the one chance that might make life possible on Shine.Review Quotes
