Vanished

Papria's father used to tell her stories. Stories of a planet; a haven, a wondrous place filled with intelligent life. His passion became her obsession. When he died she swore she'd become the woman he wanted her to be. Even he didn't know how far her kind would go to stop a woman from succeeding. She's humiliated, publicly shamed, and hurt, but wins the trials. Yet she's still denied her right to leave the planet. Papria's not a quitter. She's getting off-world no matter what the cost; including sparking a revolution. This novella is 38,000 words and 50% of the proceeds from this book go to Kourageous Kids Storybooks; a non-profit helping enrich the lives of terminally ill children by writing them as heroes of their own books.
