When you belong to three worlds, you don't belong anywhere. How can you possibly choose sides? PREQUEL TO THE GYPSY PEARL SERIES Long before Caz began her adventures on the three worlds of the Granbo star system, her mother Brita, then a young woman herself, began a quest of her own. Born of a gypsy father and a royal colonist mother, her sense of identity is confusing. When she falls in love with a space-dwelling medic, life gets even more complicated. The more she travels the planets and the social classes that inhabit them, the more she wishes she could do something to bring people together. But the caste with which she most closely identifies—the gypsies—is the one at the bottom of the social hierarchy, and there are elements who wish to eradicate them from the Granbo System completely. How can Brita, with her strong ties to three cultures, advocate for unity over isolationism and understanding over hate? Some divisions run deeper than the vastness of space... Full of adventure and a touch of romance, this prequel gives fans of the Gypsy Pearl books a glimpse at the motivations behind some of the most enigmatic characters in the series. Other books in the series: 1) The Gypsy Pearl 2) The Gypsy Fugitive 3) The Gypsy Sacrifice 5) The Gypsy Diver (Coming summer of 2019)
