O knihe
Kera McLain has known since her youngest years that she's a lesbian. Despite her oppressive father and acquiescing mother, Kera explores her orientation, absorbing feminism, radical thinking, and what it means to be an individual in a world of conformists. Kera quickly learns that moments of frustration can be dispelled with delightful disobedience.
By her early twenties, Kera has followed her passions for technology and science, and is launched into Earth's orbit to work on a space station. The station gives her great satisfaction in more ways than one. Not only is she doing what she loves, but she knows that she is both literally and figuratively above it all and out from it all.
Kera's happiness is thwarted when she is denied a third year of service in space. She must face returning to Earth, reconciling with her family, and learning how to co-exist with others on the planet she must call home.
Kera's journeys not only take her into space, but through an array of radical philosophies which she evaluates. Her deeply-felt individuality prevents her from jumping on the bandwagon of any. Still, Kera's life proves that even the sky is no limit as she struggles for human rights and freedom.
