<b>From the back cover of the Dell paperback:</b> Six women in search of their selves:
<br>Carol - She could face the sacrifice her career demanded... but could her husband?
<br>Elana - Even skill, devotion, and care can't always prevent betrayal of the deepest trust.
<br>Kathy - Had she been used too much ever to have a self?
<br>Mab - Her work was vital, but could it define her?
<br>Amanda - She dared the taboos of her people to save the injured stranger who fell from the sky.
<br>Luz - Duty was a sham, and love was lost - only Luz could say who Luz was and what she might become.
<br>These women, of different times and worlds than ours, illuminate and enrich our understandings of our own todays and tomorrows.
