A LIBRARIAN’S ORIENTATION

What this book explores

An exoplanet scientist recounts the search for potentially habitable worlds alongside her experience of grief, parenting, and renewed human connection.

Good starting place if…

You want the scientific search for another Earth to meet a lived question about loss, belonging, and meaning.

Know before you begin…

This is primarily a memoir, with science woven through it; it is not a technical guide to biosignatures or evidence for extraterrestrial life.
