Plot Summary of Jaran
"Tess Soerensen hops a ride on a Chapalii freighter, back to her ex-insurgent brother, Charles. She discovers that the Chapalii are up to no good, so she follows them to Rhui, a semi-settled planet where humans have been transplanted, millenia ago, possibly by the Chapalli. There she is taken in and earns a place with the nomadic jaran."
Christine G., Resident Scholar

"Young woman forced to face her identity and that of her families after voluntarily stranding herself on a planet. Learns to see herself not only as the Dukes sister, but as Tess. Learns to live in and live a culture far different from her own and learns the secrets of that culture as well as her own. "
