Winner, 2024 Kindle Book Awards Reader's Choice Contest, Young Adult Stranded on a water world ten light-years from home, a group of teenagers must survive without technology or the truth. Seventeen-year-old Leigh awakens from cryosleep to discover she's part of the first human colony in another solar system. The cryosleep is flawed. It kills adults and causes partial amnesia. As a result, the nations of Earth have launched into space an unlikely group--teenagers with no memory of volunteering for the mission.
