3.0 out of 5 stars Not Free SF Reader, September 3, 2007
This review is from: Starmother (Paperback)
Jahna Swiss is a dogooder type. She arrives on an alien planet to help out some the local children, who are under threat because of their mutant status, and some religious conservatives that are not too happy about their existence.

The whole society there could fall apart at any time, but Jahna finds out that the locals have plans for her, and new role, that of Starmother to these new children.
