Flora always feels different. She is different from those around her. In her ecologically ideal world, she doesn't really fit in. Once things begin to change for her, she finds other like-minded souls and a quest for knowledge that changes everything.With every word in this story, the author brings the characters to life & creates a hope for real-world change. Delicately dancing between an ideal future & a carbon footprint troubled present, this novel combines ecology & technology in a way I never imagined possible, while staying true to what history has taught us: humans repeat cycles of learning & cycles of destruction.The characters are well-developed and honest. Most reveal several layers (not just the primary characters) while showing true emotions throughout the story: from our tendency to judge people as good or bad based on how they make us feel to the fatigue that comes at the end of an arduous journey that seems to have been in vain. The plot is well-planned and flows seemingly effortlessly towards a conclusion that cannot be predicted, utilizing nicely done transistions to form a very cohesive dual-storyline.Flora's story is one of hope & faith. She is a unique heroine and her story is one that should be destined as a classic work of written art.
