Summary

On a planet Earth bursting with integrated extraterrestrial life, Nigerian-American doctor Future Nwafor Chukwuebuka is fleeing from Lagos under mysterious conditions. She's five months pregnant, her fiancé doesn't know she's left... and she's smuggling an illegal, sentient plant into New York. In this fantastically, aggressively modern world, she'll be thrown into a valiant and vibrant immigrant community of humans and aliens; joining the fight for social justice and facing both her past and her unexpected guture. But first she has to get there -- and to come to America, you must come through LaGuardia Interstellar and International Airport. And it's still under construction... On the other side of the planet, Citizen Raphael Nwabara wonders where in the universe his fiancée has gone as he wrestles with his own beliefs...and a secret that could impact both their lives and their baby
