They are like us but they are different-not in an incompatible way, but in ways that defy the assumptions humans in most world cultures take for granted. Their village technology and culture are almost aboriginal, but their language is intricate and efficient. The people of the planet Nenmar, on the other side of the galaxy from Earth, possess what many humans strive for: a deep self-assurance and corresponding acceptance of others. The offspring of a Nenmaran mother and human father, through a natural yearning to know their family history, find themselves immersed in the things of Earth. Of all their questions, the main one is what will happen when Nenmaran openness meets human xenophobia.
