On an entire city rocketing through space, bursting at the seams after only eleven years, Pensa Dee and her precious daughter, her momma and her sisters and their families are heading for a new world.

Pensa Dee lost her husband, thanks to his tomfoolery and a cracked seal, but when her heart isn't breaking, she’s getting along well enough with her baby girl at home and her databases at work. At least, until she notices a glitch in the nav system that hints she and her family and the ship aren’t where them-in-charge say they are.

Suddenly, there’s secrets about: some small and some big and some downright ugly, one maybe having to do with her husband’s death, maybe meaning it wasn’t so accidental after all.

Pensa Dee doesn’t want to believe it. She doesn’t want to be involved. She really doesn’t want to be a hero, because the heroes all seem to end up dead.

But she can’t seem to keep quiet either…
