Ryann Bird dreams of traveling across the stars. But she settles for acting out and skipping school. Until she meets Alexandria, a furious loner. After a horrific accident leaves Alexandria with a broken arm, the girls are brought together despite themselves-and Ryann learns Alexandria's secret: Her mother is an astronaut on a one-way trip past the edge of the solar system. Every night, Alexandria waits for radio signals from her mother. And now Ryann lifts Alexandria onto the roof day after day, until the silence between them grows into friendship . . . and eventually something more.

In this evocative and emotional YA romance, two girls spend every night listening for radio messages from space-and slowly falling in love.

About the Author
K. Ancrum grew up in Chicago, Illinois, under the illusory rigor of the Chicago public school system. She attended Dominican University to study fashion merchandizing, but was lured into an English degree after spending too many nights experimenting with hard literary criticism and hanging out with unsavory types, like poetry students. Currently, she lives in River North, Chicago, and writes books at work when no one is looking.
