title: Somewhere East of Pluto
author: Coutts, J.M.
description: "After buying a farm in Nebraska, "the old Coopers's place," as a safe house, Alexandra soon realized it was not the vapid hideaway she believed it would be. The year was 1880. It was a time in American history of Indian unrest and transcontinental transportation and progress. Fortunately for her, she was skilled in the task of blending into this era as a human to keep her true identity a secret. While on Earth, she would fish and hunt and tend to the animals on her farm. Then she would return to her home planet Kaupner, somewhere east of Pluto, once it was safe. But her perfect plan took an unexpected turn. Sparked by the burgeoning relationship with the nearby Potawatomi tribe and the neighboring townspeople, the drowsy little town came to life. In no time, the new adventures tilled into the Nebraska soil produced a multitude of changes. Murder attempts, a train robbery, and the massacre of a family in a bordering forest that was so beautiful it seemed enchanted brought many challenges. Without question, she never dreamed of the honeymoon that should never have happened, but did, or of the adoption of a child and more. Did she break the law of her home planet and change Earth's history? What was the cost?"
