About this ebook
A young woman becomes paralyzed and must become a brainship¾and find her Brawn, her human soul mate, so that she can discover a cure for her illness.
Tia Cade is a headstrong, smart, and very normal girl until she contracts a terrible illness that leaves her with the bare semblance of life. Tia's only hope: to become the oldest person ever to train to be one of the legendary star travelers, the brainships. But now that Tia is free of her ravaged body, there still remains the task of finding the right partner to be her Brawn, the human element every brainship requires. And when the disease that debilitated Tia threatens thousands more, selecting a Brawn who is her true soul mate may allow Tia to find the origin of the terrible plague¾and perhaps even a cure.

I am completely biased. This is one of two 'perfect' books I adore reading. While the character is imperfect and has imperfect solutions to her decisions, Tia comes across as completely believable. I never felt like rewriting or changing things in the story. I always loved reading this book ever since I was young. Perhaps, that is why I loved it so much but, either way... I found it easier to handle than books written by males made popular when I was young. This author is aware of the audience and does good

Of all Anna McCaffery's shell-person novels I think this one is the best. It made me both laugh and cry.. , and I loved every minute of it.

I have read this book a few times and I really enjoyed reading it again and getting to find things that I have missed when I have read it before, this is one of the better books I have read and I would recommend anyone to read and enjoy it like I have.
About the author
Mercedes Lackey, author of the bestselling Heralds of Valdemar and Bardic Voices series, began life as a child and has been attempting to rectify that error ever since. Named for actress Mercedes McCambridge, she has been trying with no success to get the Benz automobile authorities to recognize the natural link between her name and theirs, and offer her the use of an M100 or some variety of high-end sports car for gratis. This, too, has had a distinct lack of success. Other than writing she can be found at various times prying the talons of the birds of prey she is attempting to nurse back to health out of her hands, endangering her vision by creating various forms of Art Beadwork, and cross-stitching dragons, gryphons, and other semi-mythological fauna. At the moment, her hair is red, her favorite color is green, and she is covered by various members of her flock of pet parrots, cockatoos and macaws, all of which are trying to help her type8shgalal-akejbejks9ife.
