New Colors to Paint Our Universe: An Alien Romance (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798397283618)

Humans have spent their life traveling through space toward a new, possible habitable planet. They don't expect to find Erantus, a livable planet already home to three other interstellar immigrants. One of these is the garacka, dragon-people of a single sex that were stranded on Erantus after their home planet was destroyed.

Lorraine

A forced volunteer for the second ground crew, Lorraine is unsure what good a microbiologist is for exploring a new planet. Apparently the answer is, "nothing, really, but we're turning you into an ambassador." Sent back to the garacka city with one of its citizens, she quickly finds that what makes her feel out of place with humans, is a boon to communicating with these winged dragon aliens. Together with Tfatha, she's starting, for the first time, to figure out how she actually might fit in the grand scheme of the universe.

Tfatha

Xe's part of the first generation of garacka born on Erantus, and xe gets the reminder every day. It's only when meeting a member of a species with the same problem, that maybe xe starts to see how all the pieces come together. What's home really, when you properly think about it?
