description: “Do I sense the writing of a third book in this wonderful series? I sure hope so!”—She magazine on Daughters of an Amber NoonLate in the twenty-second century, 4,000 women escape the tyranny of a male-dominated Earth and colonize the planet of Maternas. Katherine V. Forrest’s influential 1984 novel, Daughters of a Coral Dawn, told the story of this exodus. Her 2000 novel, Daughters of an Amber Noon, told the story of the women left behind on Earth. Now she returns to Maternas at last. Fifty years have passed, and the first generation born on Maternas has reached maturity. But their vision of a perfect world is very different from the vision of the founders of the Maternas colony.Katherine V. Forrest is the author of 15 novels, including the Daughters trilogy, the Kate Delafield mysteries and the romantic classic Curious Wine. She lives in San Francisco.
