Description: It's the early twenty-fourth century, and life is good in the village of Garth. Morgan Parvati and Ivor Tread enjoy idyllic lives together in the low-technology, cooperative community which has evolved as the region slowly recovers from the harsh religious rule of the Family of Man and an earlier period of severe industrial pollution. The good life of Garth is violently disrupted when a spaceship carrying bizarre aliens arrives and they seal off the village from the outside world. In the strangely altered environment in which they find themselves, Morgan and the other women of Garth must struggle alone to survive the occupation, including the ever-present threat of Gorse, the alien leader who takes a special interest in Morgan and from whom she must protect her new-born baby - by any means necessary. The themes of love, loss, and spiritual growth are intertwined as Morgan Parvati confronts the alien challenge.
