​
Francesca vows not to tell Phillip about any of it until she knows for sure, but feeling lost and confused about whether she’s doing the right thing, she confides in Phillip’s new girlfriend, Hannah. Considering Hannah struggled at school herself, Francesca hopes that she will do a better job of getting through to Jenny than Francesca has been able to.

As Jenny strives to discover more about who she really is and in relation to others in the world, she disappears deep into the study of her favorite subjects – the universe, the stars, and the star systems in which they exist, and in the process feels a stronger connection to her deceased mom than ever before. And when she appears on the other side, everything has changed…
