Alex Leefson is astronomy's glamorous star, in love with the search for life on cold worlds such as the satellite Europa. Her love for her husband Daniel has cooled as he is dying, and he grieves for their marriage and for his own life. Then Phoebe, assured and out of reach, drifts back into Alex's world, and the chance of life out in space becomes Alex's language for an unexpected passion. The book is told in verse, in the voices of the estranged couple.
