After carrying her memories through the Underworld, thirty-five-year-old Scarlett awakens as Phoebe, a starving three-year-old on Junk Planet. Phoebe builds another kind of family with four neglected brothers. Salvaged technology, a live-stream orb, repair work, academy exams, and the apothecary lessons she longs to study become parts of one plan: earn five legal passages off-world. The siblings must protect their evidence, money, tickets, and one another long enough to board the same vessel.
