The Return — Meyari McFarland

Decades. Maram had spent decades without seeing the stars slip into the Wave, since piloting a ship. She'd expected to die with her feet covered in dirt. But then the ships came back and Maram realized that there were bigger threats than old age. She had another chance at the stars. The question was whether she and her girls could survive long enough to return to Maram's only true home.
