Summary
The Gift:
The Universe is under no obligation to explain itself, or to be configured in a form comprehensible to us.
Intercepting or receiving the emission history of another species would represent the most important lesson we could ever receive.
How well we studied and how well we learned could mean the difference between inheriting everything and extinction.
We are being tested already..- Language:

Summary
For centuries humans have dreamt about life on other worlds, whether its within myth and religion, or up in the sky- in space.
Maru has never felt like she belonged on this planet. Her head is in the night sky and her feet untethered to reality. She's wrapped up in searching for those signs of life, listening for a signal, anything that might suggest there's more to the universe than what she can see through her telescope.
Abigail feels like she's never grown up and maybe she never will. She's still chasing legends and stories, no matter how dangerous they might be. A threat on her life is nothing, when she'd give up everything just to solve the mysteries of the past.
The two interact throughout painful growing years in life, when both feel alienated and alone. A future discovery in the desert might lead to more than just ruins and sand. A story about two dreamers, who look deeply into the past and future, only to find themselves in the present staring at each other.

Summary
“Do you remember the message, Gran?”
My wife laughed a little and my brother and his husband rolled their eyes as we settled in for the evening. My mother wasn’t frail yet, but she had been alive for long enough that the kids thought she would be eternal.
“Of course I do, little ones,” my mother said, settling into her favorite chair. Minnie was the only one still small enough to sit on the chair with her, and the other kids settled around her, even Charlotte and Gray despite their proud status as high schoolers. “I was in middle school when the President announced the signal.”
