Summary:"Thirteen-year-old Ara has grown up in an isolated community called Jupiter Station, led by Father Jupiter, a self-appointed prophet whose beliefs and visions rule the family. All her life, Ara has been waiting for the day when their large family will Ascend, becoming stardust and living forever as part of the planet Jupiter. At Jupiter Station, Questions are forbidden, as they can lead to Doubt. But after Mother Io dies and Ara's brother Leo vanishes, Father Jupiter's ideas become increasingly dangerous. Ara must decide what is worth questioning and what she's prepared to risk to discover the truth and protect her family."--
