On the first anniversary of her husband's freak death by lightning, Tabitha Barker sits in her quiet East Anaheim backyard, drowning her loneliness in red wine. A sudden, spectacular meteor shower lights up the 1985 California sky, signaling a bizarre global event that transforms common possums into four-foot-tall, bipedal, intelligent beings. Among them is Juniper, a possum Tabitha befriended, who has been inhabited by both a soul from Jupiter and the lingering ghost of her late husband. As the world grapples with this surreal alien contact, Tabitha finds herself falling in love with the creature who wears her husband's flannel shirts and shares his memories of 80s sci-fi movies. Their domestic bliss is threatened by a society on the brink of collapse and a neighbor, Augusta Crabwise, who views the evolution as a demonic infestation that must be stopped! From Marsena Shane, the author of The Martian Coal Miner, comes The Jupiter Possums, Book Three of her Romantic Planets science fiction romance series for all ages, and it is wild!
