OLDER FICTION
(4) YA About to be executed for losing her virginity, Ava flees her home, a patriarchal spaceship, and ends up on Earth, rescued by a tough mail sloop captain and her precocious daughter, Miyole. But when the captain is killed in a hurricane, Ava and Miyole must go on alone. A subtheme about sexuality is insufficiently developed in this otherwise engaging coming-of-age adventure.
