Emma lost her husband, Walter, in a freak hovercraft accident a few short days before they were scheduled to embark on the journey of a lifetime. At his bedside in the hospital before he died, Walter made her promise that she would still go, that she would leave Earth for a distant planet on board the Oliquin Colony spaceship. But Emma is faced with an unexpected dilemma that will make her decision difficult, and put much more at stake than her own, suddenly-empty life.
