This is an enjoyable read, and the sequel promises to be even more interesting. It's science fiction, about a community of Jewish people (either in faith or by ancestry) who have had to leave their dying planet and have been living on a spaceship for the past 500 years. They are finally coming close to another planet, one they are sure is a promised land, just for them. Terra is botanist in training who is pulled into a rebellion aboard the ship. I found it interesting enough, and I thought it covered a lot of family/personal/cultural issues sensitively, but I'm more interested in what is going to happen when this group of people reaches the surface of the new planet.
