eBook Description: When Kel volunteers for the Recovery project--helping to rebuild a war-torn Earth--he thought he could get safely away from the invasive intimacies that pass for "normal" among the inhabitants of the orbitals. Then he finds Vanny, alone and pregnant, in the woods outside the town of Dempsey where partisans had nearly destroyed the community, and realizes that the intimacy he shuns may be the only way to save her--but at terrible cost to himself.

"God bless it!" the mouth said. Sour breath, like bad pork, made Kel wince. "We got us an angel come from heaven! You're gonna die, angel!"
